How Can I Sing Like a Girl? - They Might Be Giants

Birds are calling to sing along

But my window’s painted shut

And all that year of chorus taught me

Is out of style and long forgot

How can I sing like a girl

And not be stigmatized

By the rest of the world?

Tell me how can I sing like a girl

And not be objectified

As if I were a girl?

I want to raise my freak flag

Higher and higher and

I want to raise my freak flag

And never be alone

Never be alone

From the watchtowers I’ve been spotted

Fingers pointing at my mouth

Spotlights turn and pivot towards me

But I dare not make a sound

How can I sing like a girl

And not be stigmatized

By the rest of the world?

Tell me how can I sing like a girl

And not be objectified

As if I were a girl?

I want to raise my freak flag

Higher and higher and

I want to raise my freak flag

And never be alone

Never be alone

How can I sing like a girl

And not be stigmatized

By the rest of the world?

Tell me how can I sing like a girl

And not be objectified

As if I were a girl?

How can I sing like a girl

How can I sing like a girl

How can I sing like a girl

How can I sing like a girl
