Lyrics for Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl as interpreted by gleebs

Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl Lyrics
Tim, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your boyfriend
I know it's not possible now
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you

And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem

And then when you got sick
I could take the day off work
I could've made you chicken soup
And we could watch soap operas
Oh, those TV dramas!
I could catch your cold
And you could take care of me

If I could've met you at school, or met you at work
It would have changed everything
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity
They would have been shared
They would have been easier

Tim, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your fiancé
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me
But it's just not the same because you're a man
And so am I

I think this song is adorable. It kind of reminds me of my best friend. He's not hompphobic, but I think he might be a little weired out if I sanf this to him XD

It just seems to me like he's saying "The only way I could love you more were if I were romantically attractd to you", and I think that's realy sweet and not creepy at all, if you look at it open-mindedly

I used to feel this way about one of my friends. When we first met, we basically became best friends right away, and I ended up falling in love with her on total accident. Her name is Nikki, so I suppose I'd have to change the title to "Nikki I Wish You Were Born a Boy". (Interestingly enough, her name goes along with "Nicki Lighthouse", another of Montreal song, the lyrics of which remind me an awful lot of her.) Though, actually, I never really wished SHE'D been born a boy; I wished that I had been born a boy...but the idea's the same.

Mind you, I USED to feel like this. I don't any longer. I still love her a whole lot, mind you, and possibly even more now than I once did. But these days I've become perfectly fine with the fact that I'm a girl who's in love with a girl. I thought it was really bad at first which was why I wished one of us were a boy. But I guess I've sort of taken the advice of another of Montreal song, and now I'm not ashamed of loving another girl. No, they should never feel ashamed...

I think this song could convey true heartbreak if it were sung in a way to indicate pain and tumultuous emotions. However the way it was produced creates emotions of a lighter sort (sweet/nice song).

aw, i love this song, kevin's so clever
my HS best friend once drunkenly blurted out that if I were a girl he'd date me, it took me an awkward second to appreciate that
