Kate Reid - Closet Femme Lyrics
I find myself strolling through the city streetsCoveting the clothes in the windows of thoseHigh-fashion boutiquesI ain’t bold enough to wear those outfitsI couldn’t pull it off, I’d be self-consciousWhat if someone saw me out in public?That lady look isn’t meI can’t believe I’m saying this out loudAt my workplace, in front of a crowdCuz you know me I’m kinda shyBut it’s time I clarifiedWhat you see ain’t always what you getI have another hidden aestheticUnderneath this semi-tough exteriorGotta hi-gloss interiorIn the privacy of my homeI like to put on women’s clothesIt’s true, I’m one of themI am a closet femme, yes I amOh, oh, oh, oh, oh….Sometimes when I’m home aloneI throw on one of those full-length slipsI rip my socks and shoes offAnd apply some pink lipstickI wear my black mascara for flairMy favourite eye shadow if I dareAnd, if I’m feeling in the moodI even put on a little rougeIn the privacy of my homeI like to put on women’s clothesIt’s true, I’m one of themI am a closet femmeBridge:When I first came out, I had something to proveSo I bought myself some second-hand army bootsI gave my girlie clothes to Sally AnnAnd now, turns out I’m a closet femmeYes, I am….oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…(Breakdown)There’s a lot of hair product that I haveStashed away in my bathroom drawerIncluding a can of hairsprayCuz you know, I used to be an eighties babeAnd when I go on holidays out of townI pack my jeans and boy button-downsBut my makeup bag and the ten pairs of shoesThey take up the most roomNow, my profile needs diversifyingRevitalizing and glorifyingGonna get some fishnets and corsetsAnd show off my assetsSo maybe just for fun todayI’ll try on some new lingerieI could get away with wearing that under my clothesNo-one would ever knowIn the privacy of my homeI like to put on women’s clothesYes, it’s true, I’m one of themI am a closet femme, yes I am, I am a closet femme-Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh….
