Born a Girl (Album Version)

Born a Girl - Manic Street Preachers

Do I look good for you tonight

Will you accuse me as I hide

Behind these layers of disguise

And the mirrors of my own happiness

I've loved the freedom of being inside

Need a new start and a different time

Something grows in the space between me

And it's twisting and changing this fragile body

And I wish I had been born a girl

Instead of what I am

Yes I wish I had been born a girl

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man

The censorship of my skin

Is screaming inside and from within

There's no room in this world for a girl like me

No place around there where I fit in

And I wish I had been born a girl

Instead of what I am

Yes I wish I had been born a girl

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man

And not this mess of a man
