benjamin scheuer – i am samantha lyrics
[verse 1]
in glenfield, the first female cop was my mom
conservative tough to dad’s liberal calm
before i was born, mom and dad thought they’d call me samantha
then when i got home, certificate came
with my suitable masculine biblical name
though i tried to explain, they did not seem to hear
[chorus]
i’m samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
[verse 2]
i marry and move to new york, study writing
we never have s+x and we’re constantly fighting
i go to the church filled with shame
and explain i’m samantha
and that i keep my legs shaved in case there’s a day
i can go out at last as myself
and they tell me to pray
and they send me to counseling to k!ll off samantha
[chorus]
but i am samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
[bridge]
i can no longer feel
i can no longer write
i leave a note, but i’m found alive
and taken to harlem through fl!ckering lights
oh, samantha
oh, samantha
[verse 3]
i go back to glenfield and say
what ’til now was unsaid to them
mom breaks down crying and hugs me
and dad says i’m dead to him
i’ve lost a lot to have made it this far
i am not broken or bad or bizarre
when you have kids, you can’t choose who they are
[chorus]
i’m samantha, always samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
i am samantha
[outro]
i sign the paper, the beautiful paper
samantha, samantha
it says i’m samantha
i am samantha
