(Spoken) OK so I’m riding around in this car with this woman that I’m close to a couple times a week. And I’m noticing she’s looking out of the window and noticing other women how this one looksIsn’t her hair lovely? What a nice outfit... I said Babe what is the DEAL? You’re noticing all these other chicks... maybe... you’re a lesbian. She looks at me and she saysI wish I was a lesbian. Now at that point I wanted to say You mean ’you wish you were a lesbian’ because grammatically... But I let it slide. I didn’t wanna ruffle any feathers. But ya know that sentence that retort "I wish I was a lesbian"...kinda stuck in the ole Laud-o’s mind. kinda gestated there for seven eight minutes then this tune popped out... I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero I wouldn’t have to mess with men and all their come-and-go And all that awful facial hair and yucky "ma-chis-mo" Ooooooo I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn’t straight I would sleep with women only; man that would be great I could throw away my diaphragm; I wouldn’t wanna mate Ooooooo I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn’t straight HEY! I wish I was lesbian; I’ like to be dyke I would hang with k.d. lang; Mel Gibson take a hike I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike             Ooooooo I wish I was lesbian; I’ like to be dyke I wish I was a lesbian; that’s why this song is sung It shouldn’t have to matter how someone is hung Other things are more important...LIKE HOW TO USE YOR TOUNGE...bablblblb I wish I was a lesbian; that’s why this song is sung D            (etc... to the end) HEEEEEEY! I dare Casey Kasem to play this I wish I was a lesbian; I know it’s sad but true But maybe I might understand you guys and all you do But if I was a lesbian I WOULDN’T HAVE TO I wish I was a lesbian; I know it’s sad but true Hey I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero I wouldn’t have to mess with men and all their come-and-go And all that awful facial hair and yucky "ma-chis-mo" (I hate that damned machismo!) Ooooooo I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero   I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero!

La chanson aborde avec humour et une touche d'ironie le désir de vivre une expérience féminine, en contrastant la vie hétérosexuelle avec l'idée d'une existence lesbienne. L'interprète exprime une certaine lassitude face aux complications des relations avec les hommes et évoque la simplicité et l'attrait d'une connexion entre femmes. Dans ce récit léger, c'est la conversation avec une amie qui déclenche cette réflexion. Elle remarque d'autres femmes avec admiration, ce qui amène le chanteur à questionner sa sexualité. Sa déclaration « J'aimerais être lesbienne » devient alors le point de départ d'une série de pensées sur la pression masculine et les normes de genre. L’artiste utilise un ton amusant pour évoquer ses fantaisies sur les relations, tout en soulignant l'importance de se concentrer sur l'affection véritable plutôt que sur des stéréotypes.
