I Am Your Girl

by SADO OPERA

/

about

The song finds its protagonist ready to detox from hegemonic masculinity, bored of the limitations imposed by heteronormative culture.

Or is it just about experimenting with a bit of roleplay?

The gender binary may be the opiate of the masses,
but SADO OPERA offer something much more pleasurable:

the ecstasy of being yourself, even if ‘yourself’ isn’t just one identity, but several all at once – or one at a time if you prefer.

lyrics

I Am Your Girl - lyrics

I've been learning how to walk
Learning how to read
Think before you talk!
Listen and concede!

They told me what a boy should do
Boys can't be that way
But every time that I meet you
I cry and want to say...

What if I'm a boy
But wanna be your girl
I feel that I'm your lady
Love makes me swirl

Could be your mother Mary
And bring you light
Could be your Cinderella
All through the night

///chorus:///
If you're a man
Give it a whirl
I am your friend and lover
I am your girl

If you're a woman
It plays no role
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your girl

I am your girl
With a string of pearls
I am your girl
With a string of pearls

2.
I've been dressing like a boy,
Tried to be like one
And my only toys
Were soldiers and a gun
I stayed away from playing dolls
Cut my hair so short
But now I have my pretty curls
And something to report

What if I'm a boy
But wanna be your girl
I feel that I'm your lady
Love makes me swirl

Could be your mother Mary
And bring you light
Could be your Cinderella
All through the night

///chorus:///
If you're a man
Give it a whirl
I am your friend and lover
I am your girl

If you're a woman
It plays no role
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your girl

I am your girl
With a string of pearls
I am your girl
With a string of pearls
