Born a Girl Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Do I look good for you tonight
Will you accuse me as I hide
Behind these layers of disguise
In the mirrors of my own happiness

I′ve loved the freedom of being inside
Need a new start and a different time
Something grows in the space
Between me and it's twisting
And changing this fragile body


And I wish I had been born a girl
Instead of what I am
Yes I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man

The censorship of my skin
Is screaming inside and from within
There′s no room in this world for a girl like me
No place around there where I fit in

And I wish I had been born a girl
Instead of what I am
Yes I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man
And not this mess of a man

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
