Asking

When do you first know that you are gay? Asking for a friend And what will your mother or your father say? Asking for a friend And if I were too - not that that'd be true With the boys, could I contend? Oh, I can't imagine to ask for myself So I'm asking for a friend Where do you learn how to walk in heels? Asking for a friend And which make-up maker has the cheapest deals? Asking for a friend And if I wore a dress, could my appearance impress Or would you laugh and condescend? Oh, I can't imagine to ask for myself So I'm asking for a friend... A made-up friend Shaded by discretion Yearning to remove their caked repression And learning not to blush so you can't see I'm asking for me... I'm asking - for a friend And who can foresee the kind of human you'll be? Asking for a friend But if I should share to peers who'll no longer care Upon whom would I depend? So I'll spare the risk that I may offend And then save the time I'd spend to defend And pretend by masking that I'm asking for a friend.... I'm asking for me I'm asking - for a friend
