BmNeeded some Aair so I slGept on the outsideD.
BmDown on the cAouch with your Gboyfriend I Dneed this,
The sBmmell of his Ahair and the Gtaste of his Dlips.
Well I Bmhide in the Acloset, but IG’m not a fDaggot.
My frBmiends never fAound out,
My mGom was a DChristian,
My Bmdad is an AAlchie I Gbet that he Dkills me.
I dBmon’t know how Agod thinks, but Ggod do you love Dme?
I dBmon’t know how Agod thinks, but Ggod do you love Dme?
