Love comes in all forms. Life is too short for anything else.
lyrics
It was 1995, a good year to be a live,
Jenny was in high school it was her freshman year,
She was young and immature, and still she wasn’t sure,
If she truly liked boys or was just fitting in.
But Johnny thought she was the one, man he swore he was in love,
He tried to ask her out so many countless times.
But she always would deny, and wouldn’t give John a try,
She was having silly thoughts about kissing girls.
Then in 2003, with an undergrad degree,
Jenny left the closet and said she found herself.
She made plans to become man, moved in with her friend Diane,
Marched in a few parades and grew her leg hair out.
The hormone pills came next, to flatten out her chest,
She grew a black mustache and changed her name to Bob.
And soon her parents could not recall what sex child they’d had at all,
She was a studly handsome man, she looked like Orlando Bloom
You’d have to put them both in the same room,
For you to notice,
For you to care,
You’d have to open up your eyes to see,
That love follows catastrophe,
And your heart, that’s prone to atrophy,
Just like any muscle if you don’t use it
Then in 2010 their paths both crossed again,
Johnny swore to Bob that he knew him from somewhere.
It took him a moment to think, then his eyes gave a wild blink,
As he said, “SWEET GOD JENNY, IS THAT REALLY YOU”?!!
The hormone pills came next, John grew out to small breasts,
And he tried the smokey eye trick and bought a lovely dress.
He then changed his name to Gwen and asked Bob out again.
And the two felt so deeply and madly in love.
