See, I don't watch football And I don't drink beer I think it tastes like piss in a mug And it makes my stomach feel freaking weird (It's all that gluten from the wheat) And I can't drive a stick shift And I can't quote Fight Club (I can quote Titanic, though) And I can't do that super-cool handshake That guys do when they're like "What's up, bro?" or whatever... yea But also I have never seen an episode of Drag Race And I have never been a part of James Dean's fan base And I've been to West Hollywood But most of the time it gives me anxiety (Relax!) Maybe that's why people get confused They're like "I just can't quite put my finger on him" Am I living a lie? I just do what I do And I don't fit in this mold or that mold And that's probably why I'm gay But some people think that I'm straight Especially girls that wanna date me It comes as such a surprise Oh my god they're shocked And they're like "Wait! How come you never told me you were gay?" I'm like, "I don't know, you never asked me You're not like, 'Hey, I'm straight' when you meet someone And I wasn't hitting on you, I was just talking... I swear!" See, I'm not good with fashion No, my opinion's wrong (I've been wearing this for 3 days in a row) So don't come to me for advice About those wedges with that dress and that bag I don't know (I have no idea) And I've never been on a dating app I'll stick to that I'm never gonna get a Grindr But I think it's hilarious when Mariah said "I don't know her" See, I've got some gay qualities I totally get most pop culture references And I can tell you random shit like Britney Spears was born December 2nd, 1981 I love P!nk, Ariana, Kacey, Nicki and Madonna Beyoncé, Azealia, JLO, Gaga, Rihanna, and Kelly Clarkson (GAY!) But I can still recall 2004 American League Championship Series That's baseball if you didn't know It was the Yankees vs the Red Sox And the Yankees they were up by three But the Red Sox came back and won four And they advanced to the World Series My friend was crying on the phone And I was also pretty upset about it So I put on Under My Skin by Avril Lavigne Maybe that's why people get confused They're like, "I just can't quite put my finger on him" Am I living a lie? I just do what I do And I don't fit in this mold or that mold And that's probably why I'm gay But some people think that I'm straight Especially mothers of daughters from my old neighborhood They're like, "You should marry him, he's so good!" "Oh my god My Jessica needs to marry this boy I mean he's sweet, sensitive, a gentleman He's not like the other boys" "You're telling me if I was a few years younger I'd take him" "Oh, you're bad" "Hey, where are my goddamn keys?" "I don't know! I mean does he not wanna get married or something? Why doesn't he just ask her out?" "He is shy She'll have to make the first move I need a grandkid before I'm dead Hey, you got any Menthol Lights? I'm out" "You're not smoking in my house I just got new drapes!" I guess I never said I'm gay I figured they just knew it anyway And I don't feel like coming out I'm super-duper past that stage If you don't know then you don't know And that's okay But some people know I'm gay They're like, "Yeah, I knew it right away" Huh? They're like, "From the moment you opened up your mouth I knew" What? I'm like, "Well, excuse me, what the f*ck, f*ck you!" Okay, disclaimer Now, look There's nothing wrong with being gay Obviously It's just kinda weird when people say "I knew right away" And then I get kind of embarrassed But that's just my insecurities And stereotypes in my own head And then I think Do I come off really gay? And I flamboyant? I don't feel like I am Um, excuse me, what is wrong with being flamboyant? Uh, nothing, nothing It's just not how I perceive myself and I wonder if others... Oh, honey, who gives a f*ck about how others perceive you If I did, I'd end up living a miserable 78 years of life How do you know you'll live 78 years? It's the average male lifespan in the United States, hunty Oh, ok Damn, 78 doesn't even sound like that much Mm-mm So you better get your life while you've got it You're right I mean, who gives a shit what anyone else thinks Yas, bitch, live your life, girl! I will And my 78 years are gonna be great Oh yeah, why's that? Well, because... I don't care why people get confused It's fine that they can't quite put their finger on me I'm not living a lie I'm doing what I do And I don't care about this mold or that mold And it's all right cuz I'm... Gay And some people knew it right away They're like, "From the moment you opened up your mouth, I knew" I'm like, "Well, excuse me, I don't care, that's cool" Cuz I'm gay But some people think that I'm straight Especially mothers of daughters from my old neighborhood They're like, "You should marry him" Yeah, they should I'm gay Some people think that I'm straight Especially girls that wanna date me It comes as Such a surprise oh my god they're shocked And they're like "Wait! How come you never told me you were gay?" I'm like, "I don't know, you never asked me You're not like, 'Hey, I'm straight' when you meet someone And I wasn't hitting on you, I was just talking"
