CHORUS I’m coming out Gonna live my life. Say fuck all this strife. Ain’t gonna be no man’s wife. Gonna sing and play my songs. Cuz life ain’t all that long. I’m coming out.... Coming out. VERSE Hey preacher man. Republican. And hubby too. This song’s for you. Cuz you ain’t no macho man, So stop me if you can. I’m coming out.... I’m coming out.

BRIDGE Like a kid on Christmas Just gettin socks… again. Waiting my whole life breathless Falling in reckless Love… Again. Sneaking round & ripping Praying for that perfect gift. Just wanted someone to love me And handle all of my shit. And let me be me... I gotta be me You let me be me. CHORUS Now, we’re those weird ones Those really weird ones A coupla weird ones But I love us... Just cuz we are us. VERSE Never did foresee that Guess I never knew that YOU could be That BRIDGE We’re like kids on Christmas Never gettin socks… Again. Living our whole lives reckless Falling into breathless Love... Again. Sneaking round, hoping Praying for that perfect gift Just want someone to love us Put up with ALL of our shit… OUTRO You know, it takes One Just to be One Now, don’t you know One? You let me be me... That’s why I love you I fucking love you! (C) 2018 Kimmie & Johnny Knapp. All rights reserved.
