Lyrics

If you’re gay, then you’re gay; don’t pre tend that you’re straight.

You could be who you are an y day of the week.

You are un like the oth ers, so strong and u nique.

We’re all with (Esus)you.

If you’re straight, well that’s great; you can help pro cre ate, and make gay lit tle ba bies for the whole hu man race, make a world we can live in, where the one who you love’s not an is (Esus)sue.

’Cause we’re (D)all some where in the mid (A)dle;

we’re (D)all just look ing for love to change the world.

(Ah.)

(Esus)But if the (D)world stops spin ning to mor row,

we (D)can’t keep run ning a way from who we are.

(Ah.)

(CN.C.)If you’re gay, then you’re gay.

If you’re straight, well, that’s great.

If you fall in be tween, bies that’s the best way to be; you’ve got so man y op tions, ev ’ry fish in the sea wants to kiss (Esus)you.

’Cause we’re (D)all some where in the mid (A)dle;

we’re (D)all just look ing for love to change the world.

(Ah.)

(Esus)But if the (D)world stops spin ning to mor row,

we (D)can’t keep run ning a way from who we are.

(Ah.)

(CN.C.)If you’re gay,

And we’re (D)all here in it to geth (A)er.

We’re (D)one step clos er to break ing down the walls.

(Ah.)

Ev (Bm7)’ry (A)one (D)is (E)gay!
