I'm A Big, Big Girl  
By Nattalie Gordon    

Back when I was younger, when I was really small
I thought adulthood was awesome, I thought I'd have it all
But now at the end of my 20s it's so far from the truth
I had no idea what was a'coming
When  I hit eighteen and waved good-bye to my youth.  

Life still ain't awesome yet
Still waitin' for that call
I work enough to get to work Then the taxman takes it all.  

I grew up a little and learned alot about how the system works
If I didn't know better I'd think God told the devil to hit me where it hurts.  

When I was a little girl I thought I'd live the easy way
But life ain't all that easy, especially when you're gay.
The Taylor Swift of lesbians
I swear I've got no game
Getting a lover is effortless
Keeping her, not quite the same.  

When I was a little girl
Barefoot with a head full of dreams
No-one told me life's a b***h
Or that she'd wanna keep me down by any means.  

Now I'm a big, big girl
I've known depression, pain and hurt
But I still refuse to quit
Though I'm sure it's all worth it.  

Life still ain't awesome yet
But I sure would like it to be
You see I'm a big, big girl
So I gotta take care of me.    



P.S. I love Taylor Swift.
