Rosie Must Live

When I was born in 1972
They said what a lovely boy
They called me Ronnie
It should have been Rosie

It just so happened that day
I was born with male features
I have a female mind
And a feminine attitude

I dont want to be Ronnie
I want to live as Rosie
Why should a girl live as a boy
It must be the worst of luck

Rosie is Ronnie is Rosie
As the grass is green and sky blue
I've grown tiresome of Ronnie
I want to be Rosie it's true

I hate male attitudes
Self righteous ehotistical minds
Rosie has a free mind
But I really need to free my body

When I'm Rosie I'll be happy
I'll be happy when I'm Rosie
I'm not a boy
I could never be Ronnie
