Manic Street Preachers Born a Girl song lyrics

Do I look good for you tonight

Will you accuse me as I hide

Behind these layers of disguise

In the mirrors of my own happiness

I've loved the freedom of being inside

Need a new start and a different time

Something grows in the space

Between me and it's twisting

And changing this fragile body

And I wish I had been born a girl

Instead of what I am

Yes I wish I had been born a girl

And not this mess of a man

The censorship of my skin

Is screaming inside

And from within

There's no room in this world for a girl like me

No place around there where I fit in

And I wish I had been born a girl

Instead of what I am

Yes I wish I had been born a girl

And not this mess of a man
