  • Would it be so horrible?

    “I'm taking the straight path for
    awhile.”

    “Oh, no, wait, I changed my mind;
    come fuck me.”

    “Come see me this weekend.”

    “On second thought, I need some time
    alone.”

    Would it be so horrible to make up your
    mind?

    “Suck my cock, baby. Oh, that feels
    so nice.”

    “Now remember, in public, we're just
    buddies.”

    “Don't touch me like that where
    people can see.”

    Would it be so horrible if people knew?

    “Come to bed with me; I know what you
    want.”

    “No, I'm totally straight. You're
    gay, I'm not.”

    Would it be so horrible to admit it to
    yourself?

    Your words tell me one thing,

    But your body tells me something else.

    In public, you're one person;

    In private, you're another.

    I like that second person better, baby.

    I like who you are when we're alone.

    Would it be so horrible, to wake up one
    morning

    And find you were confidently bi?

    Would it be so horrible to know who you
    are,

    Even if some people hate you for it?

    Would it be so horrible, to say to
    yourself,

    And to everyone else, that you like
    what you have with me?

    Would it be so horrible, to add that
    one little syllable,

    Promote me from the “friend” you
    say I am

    To the “boyfriend” you know I ought
    to be?

    Your words tell me one thing,

    But your body tells me something else.

    In public, you're one person;

    In private, you're another.

    I like that second person better, baby.

    I like who you are when we're alone.
