It's finally happening to me The thing I just had to believe It will be seven years in June I know my time is coming soon I told her everything I know I told her daddy where to go I let her drink my mama's wine I never was allowed to shine But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on She took me to her parents' (place?) I stared their dog right in the face He asked me if I knew his name "Mother," I said without a shame There's something you should know right here Might not be gay but sure am queer We would be married in six weeks I'm not afraid to say "defeat" But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on (Hold on, just hold on) Freedom is just another word But words are for more than being heard Wishing you did like (femme ______?) I've got to go and be myself It's finally happening to me The thing I was afraid to believe It took me seven years to bloom I knew my time was coming soon But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on (Hold on, just hold on) Hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on (Hold on, just hold on) Hold on
