Verse 1:

Tomboy

You know the phrase

But being one is going through a maze

You don't hang with girls

Maybe you don't wear jewelry with pearls

But not all the boys want you around

You can hear the sound of them talking to each other

But around you each is another person

Why are they so weird?

Soon you get all geared and prepared to be on your own

But you're still upset and alone

You're a loner now

Cause you missed your chance with the girls and now the boys don't include you

You need a friend to soothe you

But you don't have one

You alone like you got shunned

All because you prefer baseball over makeup and celebrity crushes

This alone shit smudges your self confidence

[hook]:

Tomboy sometimes you wish you weren't one

Soon you're done

You go from loose boys shorts to skinny jeans and low cut tops

You go through the girly clothes shops

If you look more feminine you might be included

Verse 2:

You're waiting for the boys to act normal around you

If you get lucky you find a friend somewhere else who likes you too

You suddenly find out

(recording: when I was in high school, we thought girls created too much drama)

To you this is absurd

The stupidest thing you ever heard

I'm so quiet

I won't cause a riot

If I open my mouth I talk sports or rap

Yet I never get included like I'm some sort of sap

You can't call me dramatic

But if you let me in I'll be ecstatic

If you were left out you'd be fucked up too

I just want to be part of the crew

One of the boys

Make sure each of them enjoys me

But since I'm a girl that's too much to ask

I should've been wearing a mask

I bet if I looked like one they'd think I was a guy

About my gender should I just lie

Change my gender on the fly

Who knows I could've been trans but my parents picked girl

Who knows let's give this a whirl

I can change my gender if that's what it takes

But no say the parents don't let them get to you

You're a girl at heart don't start this bullshit don't let them get to you

[hook]:

Tomboy sometimes you wish you weren't one

Soon you're done

You go from loose boys shorts to skinny jeans and low cut tops

You go through the girly clothes shops

If you look more feminine you might be included

Verse 3:

Sometimes it might work out

You and the boys have a lot in common shoutin the raps

Yet they won't pass to you in basketball always getting picked last

Even if you're not that bad

It can make you sad

But by now you're used to it

Even if you're fed up with this shit

Soon you're like this is it

You get pissed and yell at them

No way can they ask from where does this anger stem

If you're wondering that fuck you

This is a chance you blew

To become friends with me

You've been sexist can't you see

You boys have given me no joy

And now I want to get out of here

From you sexists I don't want to hear

Let's never see those mothafuckers again

Tomboy sometimes you wish you weren't one
