[Verse 1]
G C G
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
G D
I looked to a woman's love to help me get through
G C G
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
G D G
I hated the thought of kissing a man - it really was too much
D C G
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say "god damn"
D C G
I was polite, I was sensitive before I loved a man
D C G
My family were proud of me and proud of what I am
C G D G
But then along came Lester and my tale of woe began
[Chorus]
G C G
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
G D
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
G C
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
C G D G
And made me spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
[Verse 2]
G C G
It was June (June) 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
G D
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
G C G
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
G D G
Lester came to work at Papa's store and decided to ease on in
D C G
Before my last heartbreak well nothing made me more sick
D C G
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
D C G
I guess that I was curious I guess that I was young
C G D G
I guess it was that rum and coke, I guess that I was dumb
[Chorus]
G C G
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
G D
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
G C
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
C G D G
And made me spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
[Verse 3]
G C G
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
G D
If a woman don't drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
G C G
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
G D G
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn't last
D C G
For there's certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
D C
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
D C G
And so I say to you my friends without this man I'd die
C G D G
So listen to my tell of woe and hang your head and cry
[Chorus]
G C G
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
G D
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
G C
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
C G D G
And made me spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
G C G
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
G D
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
G C
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
C G D G
And made me spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
