You are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people
In this world
Who'd like to change what nature made
And if you take that decision
Then they will make that incision - down below
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they're tellin' me
Oh little girl
Please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad
Now I'm your mom
I hope you'll comprehend someday
I didn't mean to confuse you
And now I know that it's hard to understand
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
But I never heard a word they're sayin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
And when columbus sailed
Upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him
Yes, we are pioneers
Into the great unknown
The wild uncharted lands
There ain't no turning back
Ain't gonna be no chains on me
Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free
The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
You know I'm man enough
Ain't gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild
I got a pair o' wings
And I'm gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
Tomorrow came today - for me
He is a boy You are a girl And you will always stay that way But there are people In this world Who'd like to change what nature made And if you take that decision Then they will make that incision - down below The birds and the bees Are singin' for me And this is the song I heard them singin' Goin' tweedle dee dee Tweedle dee dee But I never heard a word they're tellin' me Oh little girl Please understand And listen to the words I say I was your dad Now I'm your mom I hope you'll comprehend someday I didn't mean to confuse you And now I know that it's hard to understand The birds and the bees Are singin' for me But I never heard a word they're sayin' Goin' tweedle dee dee Tweedle dee dee Freedom of choice is what they're bringin' And when columbus sailed Upon that mighty sea Well, we are just like him Yes, we are pioneers Into the great unknown The wild uncharted lands There ain't no turning back Ain't gonna be no chains on me Who would ever believe Caterpillars like me Turning into a butterfly Well, I was suddenly free The birds and the bees Are singin' for me And this is the song I heard them singin' Tweedle dee dee Tweedle dee dee Freedom of choice is what they're bringin' You know I'm man enough Ain't gonna run and hide My love is mighty tough My love is mighty wild I got a pair o' wings And I'm gonna fly away Too late to turn back now Tomorrow came today - for me Explain Request ×
