about

Sometimes I write songs because I want certain behaviour to stop. Like, for example, people calling me "butch." I have issues. I'm not proud of them, I'm just plagued by them. We all have our stuff. This is my attempt to, as politely as possible, inform people that I don't find it sexy.

lyrics

You know you want me
And I want you, too
From where I'm lying baby I've got quite a view of
Your lovely lips and your sexy thighs
But you just called me something that harshed my high

Don't call me butch
I don't feel butch
Sure, I like pants but that don't necessarily make me butch
It's my purse, it's not a "man bag"
I'm in a skirt, no I'm not in drag
Please baby, do not call me butch

Some girls may like it
But this girl don't
If you think it's gonna make me horny
I promise you it won't
But it might make me defensive
And unattractively uptight
So unless counseling me on my history was your agenda for tonight

Don't call me butch
I don't feel butch
Sure I look good in a suit but does that make me butch?
Do not lecture me on female masculinity
Please baby, do not call me butch

Spoken Part
Chorus with crazy singing

The Gretchen Phillips Xperience Austin, Texas

I got your lezzie rock right here! Since 1984, keeping it real in Austin, TX. What do I mean by "real"? Transgressive, literate, unapologetic, and unafraid. Plus fun. Don't forget fun. Even when it's sad, let's look for the fun.
