To love a man
As a man
Has been seen as a crime
But this one's worth the penalty
All my dollars and my dimes
I didn't grow up in a place
With love less folk
But this hate from elder
Angry blokes isn't new to me
Projection seems to by the drug
Of choice
Do you love to hear
Your mouth make noise
I'm curious
I'm furious
Ask me who I love
And I'll raise my hand
My boy, my love
Oh my gentleman
If I can't then I know he can
Everybody wants to take it
From me
They don't understand
What they can't see
But they won't understand
Until they love my man
I had a dream
Where we all got along
His family and mine
And a fireplace
Singing a handwritten song
He didn't grow up in a place
That's free to be
But I thank the stars that
He met me oh truly
Oh and I
Have been searching for a life
Where his parents wish
They knew me
Oh but
Ask me who I love
And I'll raise my hand
My boy, my love
Oh my gentleman
If I can't then I know he can
Everybody wants to take it
From me
They don't understand
What they can't see
But they won't understand
Until they love my man
Love my man
