My uncle George had a Great Dane who chewed a paw off in Connecticut And when I walk into a room I'm not afraid to feel feminine Well, I've never done heroin I've never done much of that And though I may appear likeable I'm merely trying to remember I'm not on fire Oh no, Mom, my collar bone again My father took me mountain climbing I've got a picture to show to you My grandma lived in Florida and her front lawn hurt my bare feet Well, I've never tried to kill a cricket With a firecracker on the Fourth of July I've never done pretty much anything that didn't have productive quality What a goddamn liar! Even though you taught me to love my body Even though I'll never be Italian I won't forget, people who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head It may not be your imagination If you think I'm looking at you with contempt I wish it could be different but occasionally I'm cruel I get down I can't help but think I've long buried a horrible childhood memory And why do I keep on dreaming about the queen of 4th grade Cheryl Englehardt? And what I lack in aphrodisia I think I make up for in appetite I'm a young John Wayne Even though you fuck me on your birthday Even though I'm an advocate of hygiene I won't forget, people who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head Even though you make my bed like Mom did Even though I really don't know how to be a friend I won't forget, people who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head
