People are telling me   That I'm missing out on the fun   'Cause I don't go anywhere   And I don't meet anyone      But I know how rumors fly   When you're a lonely guy   And I'm here to tell you it's a lie      There's strange things going on   At night most everywhere   You know those places well   And you've never seen me there      I walk by other men   And I don't notice them   But then those rumors start again      So I'm gonna tell the world   I don't wanna be a homosexual   I'm gonna find a girl   'Cause I don't wanna be a homosexual   I guess that it's okay   If other guys are gay   But my hormones are one-directional   And I don't wanna be a homosexual      Somebody tell me what I did to start this talk   Is it the way I look; is it the way I walk?      Is it the clothes I wear   That make the people stare?   Is it the way I comb my hair?      I'm only hoping maybe there will come a day   When I can make them understand that I'm not gay      But till that day is here   I guess I'll live in fear   And I curse the day I pierced my ear      There's nothing wrong with me   I don't wanna be a homosexual   Know what I want to be   And I don't wanna be a homosexual      Soft boys and closet queens   Think Judy Garland's keen   But I don't think she's nothing special   And I don't wanna be a homosexual      So now I'm wondering if maybe they're not right   I've gone all paranoid and I can't sleep at night      I went to see the shrink   What did the doctor think?   I swear to God I saw him wink      I pray that I am wrong   I don't wanna be a homosexual   Why did I write this song   If I don't wanna be a homosexual?      I hope it's not too late   For them to set me straight   I'm gonna see a real professional   'Cause I don't wanna be a homosexual      No   No, no, no, no   No, no, no, no, no   No, no, no, no, no, no      I don't wanna be a homosexual . . .      I don't wanna go with guys named Seamus   I don't wanna be rich and famous   I don't wanna go to a French art festival   I don't wannt be a homosexual      I guess that it's okay   If other guys are gay . . .
