_{If I were a girl…}

I'd put on high heels,
Just to see how tall I can be,

I'd go shopping with the gals,
And max out my credit card.

We'd talk about boys,
And I'd play it cool
If I see him looking my way.

.
_{If I were a girl…}

I'd pull him from his buddies,
drag him away till we're alone,
and just sit and stare at his eyes.

I'd shrug off his playful insults,
And trap his compliments in my ears.

I'd realize that the hours spent in front of the mirror are useless,
that the reflection brings out a pessimistic side in me,
And I'd realize, every minute spent in front of my lifeless doppelganger,
Is another minute I can spend with him.

.
_{If I were a girl…}

I'd push those makeup products to the side of the dresser,
Until most of them fall in and around the trash bin,
Because I'd know when he strokes my cheek, or when he kisses me,
He wants to feel me with his touch, not a cosmetic mask,
And he doesn't want to pull away with a taste of peach on his lips.

I'd watch him wait outside from my window,
Tapping his foot, with earphones in his ear,
But I'd waste another five minutes,
brushing the knots out of my hair,
So he knows he doesn't mean the world to me,

But who am I kidding?

.
_{If I were a girl…}

If he got into one of his weird moods
and he pushed me.
I'd push him back.

.
_{If I were a girl…}

And I can see that he's down.
I'd know that even if he does talk,
He never wanted to,
All he needed, was for me to be near,
To wave away my friends,
And sit beside him on the curb of the sidewalk,
And when he says, you don't have to.
I'd just move closer.

Then there are times,
When he'll lose hope in the world,
Shove his dreams under the carpet,
hide himself deep inside a kaleidoscopic cloak,
Which he's wearing inside out, and
You only see the darker colors that aren't him at all.

And all you want to do, is strip him of lies,
And he'll try to say, I hate you ,
But he'd never get the words out,
Not when I've pulled him into an embrace so deep,
Our hearts race side by side, trying to outdo each other in beats,
And his words are drowned out as our lips fiercely dance.

.
_{If I were a girl…}

I would hold him tightly, even as his frame shakes,
Until my top is soaked with the tears,
He doesn't want me to see.

.
'cause I know how it hurts,
To feel like I'm never good enough,
To cry facing the sky,
So the tears don't go running down my face,
and  they won't go to waste.

You could only watch it happen,
and lose the one you wanted…
as he slips away...
