Living Life My Own Way
(copyright 1981, C. Gagnon)
Song theme -- Alternative lifestyle
Mom and dad I'm ready for a change
My body parts need to be rearranged
I know it's hard for you to understand
But there's a woman trapped inside this man.
Dad I've listened to your sound advice
But I'm the one in charge of my life
You can scream out loud and call me a disgrace
But I must change my gender and wear make-up on my face.
Chorus:
Don't push your thoughts down my throat
I might cough and spit maybe even choke
But I'll never ever swallow what you say
You see, I'm living life my own way.
What's good for some may not be for me
So let me make this change independently
Don't try to tell me what I can or can't do
Until you've walked a mile in my high-heel shoes.
Chorus:
Repeat
I know you're proud of me as your son
Hope I'll always be your loved one
Don't try and stop me now please don't bother
You're losing a son but you're gaining a daughter.
Chorus:
Repeat
