[00:11.23] |
My mum and I we live alone |
[00:14.22] |
A great apartment is our home |
[00:18.20] |
In Fairhome Towers |
[00:23.05] |
I have to keep me company |
[00:25.24] |
Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet |
[00:29.20] |
Some plants and flowers |
[00:34.03] |
I help my mother with the chores |
[00:36.24] |
I wash, she dries, I do the floors |
[00:40.21] |
We work together |
[00:45.11] |
I shop and cook and sow a bit |
[00:48.01] |
Though mum does too I must admit |
[00:52.23] |
I do it better |
[00:56.13] |
At night I work in a strange bar |
[00:59.08] |
Impersonating every star |
[01:02.23] |
I'm quite deceiving |
[01:07.07] |
The customers come in with doubt |
[01:10.00] |
And wonder what I'm all about |
[01:13.12] |
But leave believing |
[01:18.06] |
I do a very special show |
[01:21.00] |
Where I am nude from head to toe |
[01:25.01] |
After stripteasing |
[01:28.24] |
Each night the men look so surprised |
[01:31.22] |
I change my sex before their eyes |
[01:34.12] |
Tell me if you can |
[01:35.24] |
What makes a man a man |
[01:42.11] |
Around three o'clock or so I meet |
[01:45.08] |
With friends to have a bite to eat |
[01:49.03] |
And conversation |
[01:53.13] |
We love to empty out our hearts |
[01:56.15] |
On every subject from the arts to liberation |
[02:04.11] |
We love to pull apart someone |
[02:07.00] |
And spread some gossip just for fun |
[02:10.21] |
Or start a rumor |
[02:15.05] |
We let our hair down, so to speak |
[02:17.23] |
And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek |
[02:21.10] |
And inside humor |
[02:26.01] |
So many times we have to pay |
[02:28.20] |
For having fun and being gay |
[02:32.18] |
It's not amusing |
[02:36.19] |
There's always those that spoil our games |
[02:39.13] |
By finding fault and calling names |
[02:43.03] |
Always accusing |
[02:47.07] |
They draw attention to themselves |
[02:50.07] |
At the expense of someone else |
[02:53.18] |
It's so confusing |
[02:57.21] |
Yet they make fun of how I talk |
[03:00.22] |
And imitate the way I walk |
[03:03.10] |
Tell me if you can |
[03:04.19] |
What makes a man a man |
[03:11.12] |
My masquerade comes to an end |
[03:14.10] |
when I go home to bed again |
[03:18.13] |
Alone and friendless |
[03:22.12] |
I close my eyes, I think of him |
[03:25.03] |
And fantasize what might have been |
[03:28.22] |
My dreams are endless |
[03:32.22] |
We love each other but it seems |
[03:35.14] |
The love is only in my dreams |
[03:39.10] |
It's so one sided |
[03:43.07] |
But in this life I must confess |
[03:45.21] |
The search for love and happiness |
[03:49.04] |
Is unrequited |
[03:53.11] |
I ask myself what I have got |
[03:56.08] |
And what I am and what I'm not |
[03:59.18] |
What have I given |
[04:04.00] |
The answers come from those who make |
[04:06.17] |
The rules that some of us must break |
[04:10.05] |
Just to keep living |
[04:14.14] |
I know my life is not a crime |
[04:17.06] |
I'm just a victim of my time |
[04:20.21] |
I stand defenseless |
[04:25.05] |
Nobody has the right to be |
[04:27.17] |
The judge of what is right for me |
[04:30.11] |
Tell me if you can |
[04:31.19] |
What make a man a man |
[04:40.01] |
