I’ve been hearing Rick Springfield’s Jesse’s Girl as a trans song all my life. Here’s my first attempt at changing the lyrics a little to make it one.
Jessie is a friend,
Yeah, I know he’s been a good friend of mine
But lately something’s changed
It ain’t hard to define
Now I know that I’m a girl and I want to make him mine
And maybe I should change my eyes
And I have to change my body now, I just know it!
And it all just takes so long until I will feel right
You know I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
Why can’t I be a woman like that? *snaps*
I play along with the charade
Even after I have started to change
You know I feel so dirty for not telling him the truth
I wanna tell him that I love him but the point is probably moot
‘Cause my tellin’ him would go fine
And lovin’ him with my new body, I just know it!
But I’m scared he’d be alarmed and we’d start to fight.
You know I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
Where can’t I be a woman like that? *snaps*
I’ll be a girl
I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
Why can’t I be a woman…
Why can I be a woman like that? *snaps*
And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ how I will look to me
After the hormones have smoothed all my lines
And I’m finally how I’m supposed to be?
Tell me, why can’t I be a woman like that? *snaps*
You know I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
I’ll be Jessie’s girl
How can I find my womanhood fast?
I’ll be a girl
I wish that I was Jessie’s girl
I want, I want to be girl
