lyrics

Step into the room, a woman catches my eye
She’s got long strung up hair and a pretty cool vibe
Tattoos that she don’t hide
We get to talking
I get to falling in love
But then a very clear reality precipitates around me
And suddenly this can’t go on…

(chorus)

I gotta stop falling in love with all the gay girls
This situation needs to change
There’s something about ‘em
Maybe freedom, tattoos, or laughter
A difference that I struggle to explain

(bridge)

The heart wants what the heart wants
But the heart ain’t always smart
It’ll leave you hoping and asking
It’ll leave you waiting and grasping
It’ll leave you ready to run a race that ain’t got no start

Now I know what you're thinking:
Ari, I just can't relate
Maybe you're straight, never fallen in love with someone gay
Maybe you're gay, never fallen in love with someone straight
Maybe you're something else and you just don't get it
In any case, I think there's one thing
we can all agree upon...

They’re either gay or taken
Or they’re either straight or taken
They’d either never touch your special stuff
Or they’re touching on someone else x 2

But I don’t mind, don’t mind
No, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Maybe all the girls I ever wanted as a lover
Weren’t meant for me…
They were meant for each other!
