like I loved you

slip into something a tad more sheer

left to sell

with Little Willie between my thighs

I may not find a cure for cancer

 I've always been treated like one

I want to be a dominatrix 
            Am           F       G     C 
which isn't like me, but I can dream 
            C 
learn S and M 
    F          G            Am 
and all those gay tricks 
             Am

make them scream

 I'll see my name in lights of scarlet 
             Am         F  G   C 
and get to spend every day in bed 


          C     F        G            Am 
I want to be a tattooed lady 
       Am       F       G              C 
dedicated, as I am, to art 
            C     F           G       Am 
Characters bold, complex and shady 
              Am 
will write my memoirs 
   F    G   C 
across my heart.
