Your mind may refuse to believe
Your mind may refuse to believe
[Verse 1]
I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While **** off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don't eat meat and drive electrical cars
You're so indie rock, it's almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive
[Chorus]
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys (Oh)
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
[Verse 2]
You're so sad, maybe you should buy a happy meal
You're so skinny, you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly, you're so amused that nobody understands you
I'm so mean 'cause I cannot get you out of your head
I'm so angry 'cause you'd rather MySpace instead
I can't believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup and
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
[Breakdown]
Hey, oh
Oh woah-oh-oh, oh
La-la-la
La-la-la
Do-do-do, ba-ba-ba
Do-do-do, da-da-day
You're so gay
You're so gay
[Bridge]
You walk around like you're oh-so debonair
You pull 'em down and there's really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me
[Chorus]
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like
No, you don't even like

On if the song enforces a negative stereotype:
Every time I play that song, everybody has come back laughing. I’m not the type of person who walks around calling everything gay. That song is about a specific guy that I used to date and specific issues that he had. The song is about my ex wearing guyliner and taking emo pictures of himself in the bathroom mirror. The listeners have to read the context of the song and decide for themselves.
