Avenue Q movie - If You Were Gay lyrics
rate me<br>
ROD<br>
Aah, an afternoon alone with<br>
My favorite book, "Broadway<br>
Musicals of the 1940s."<br>
No roommate to bother me.<br>
How could it get any better than this?<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Oh,hi Rod!<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Hi Nicky.<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Hey Rod, you'll never<br>
Guess what happened to<br>
Me on the subway this morning.<br>
This guy was smiling at me and talking to me<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
That's very interesting.<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
He was being real friendly,<br>
And I think he was coming on to me. <br>
I think he might've thought I was gay!<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this? <br>
Why should I care?<br>
I don't care. <br>
What did you have for lunch today?<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Oh, you don't have to get<br>
All defensive about it, Rod...<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
I'm NOT getting defensive!<br>
What do I care about some gay guy you met, okay?<br>
I'm trying to read.<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Rod. <br>
I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
I don't want to talk about it,<br>
Nicky! This conversation is over!!!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Yeah, but...<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
OVER!!!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
Well, okay, but just so you know —<br>
IF YOU WERE GAY<br>
THAT'D BE OKAY.<br>
I MEAN 'CAUSE, HEY,<br>
I'D LIKE YOU ANYWAY.<br>
BECAUSE YOU SEE,<br>
IF IT WERE ME,<br>
I WOULD FEEL FREE<br>
TO SAY THAT I WAS GAY<br>
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Nicky, please!<br>
I am trying to read....<br>
What?!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
IF YOU WERE QUEER<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Ah, Nicky!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
I'D STILL BE HERE,<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Nicky, I'm trying to read this book.<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
YEAR AFTER YEAR<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Nicky!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAR<br>
TO ME,<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Argh!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
AND I KNOW THAT YOU<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
What?<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
WOULD ACCEPT ME TOO,<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
I would?<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
IF I TOLD YOU TODAY,<br>
"HEY! GUESS WHAT,<br>
I'M GAY!"<br>
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)<br>
I'M HAPPY<br>
JUST BEING WITH YOU.<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
High Button Shoes, Pal Joey...<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
SO WHAT SHOULD IT<br>
MATTER TO ME<br>
WHAT YOU DO IN BED<br>
WITH GUYS?<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Nicky, that's GROSS!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
No it's not!<br>
IF YOU WERE GAY<br>
I'D SHOUT HOORAY!<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
I am not listening!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
AND HERE I'D STAY,<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
La la la la la!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
BUT I WOULDN'T GET<br>
IN YOUR WAY.<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Aaaah!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME<br>
TO ALWAYS BE<br>
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY,<br>
TO TELL YOU IT'S OKAY,<br>
YOU WERE JUST BORN<br>
THAT WAY,<br>
AND, AS THEY SAY,<br>
IT'S IN YOUR DNA,<br>
YOU'RE GAY!<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
BUT I'M NOT GAY!<br>
<br>
NICKY<br>
If you were gay.<br>
<br>
ROD<br>
Argh!<br>
<br>
<br>
