lyrics

been trying to tell ya
(Sonia Tetlow and Mary Lasseigne)

I been tryin to tell ya you don’t have a shot
‘Cause I’m not the kind of girl who haunts your pick-up spots

I’m a boot-wearing lass, a smart-talking sass
I’ll look you in the ass before I kick your ass
I’m a long-haired butch-femme lesbian

I know by sight it may seem like I’m on your team
But darling, trust me, I haven’t dated boys since I was seventeen

I’m a boot-wearing lass, a smart-talking sass
I’ll look you in the ass before I kick your ass
I’m a long-haired butch-femme lesbian

Aw honey, you just haven’t met the right guy baby
You hardly even gave me a try now
So try a little harder just a little bit harder
like cats on the water
C’mon girl, you just need a little more time
You’ll wake up and you’ll take a shine mama
Before you know it you’ll outgrow it
you’re wife’s welcome too

I appreciate that you’re using your best line
But my girl here and I are clearly already doing just fine

I’ve tried hints and winks and all my delicate talk
But now honey I think it’s time we get something straight here and that’s that I’m not

I’m a boot-wearing lass, a smart-talking sass
I’ll look you in the ass while I kick your ass
I’m a long-haired butch-femme lesbian
Honey don’t cry
I’m just a long-haired butch-femme lesbian
