I didnt know Todd Rundgren did the whole drag thing...In fact, I never knew it was TR who sang this song.
It sure is purty despite being sort of fucked up in a way. Actually, I'd wager this is probably the most "emotionally accurate" love song a man ever wrote. It basically says: you go screw around little lady, b/c i can never be the man you need me to be, but ill always love you and maybe, just maybe, one day you and i will reunite and it will be magical, but i just love you too much for you to compromise your integrity by being stuck with a cad like me, who just cant help himself and who is "just a man"... HOW MANLY!
Really, Im not kidding here. If I wanted a man to wax poetic like a woman, I'd be in California now getting married. Male speak is just as good as female speak, in fact, i find it way more entertaining and endearing. Those who don't appreciate the subtle differences between the sexes should be forced to spend some time in Sears. Why Sears? B/C ONLY men shop at Sears. Everything about Sears is manly. Even the women's clothes at Sears are manly.
UNLIKE those lashes. Those ain't very manly. No siree.
Im wondering how he sees the keys- isnt his peripheral vision all messed up? I mean, i am a girl and i have trouble with glasses, let alone fringed fake eyelashes.
Really Todd, baby, its ok. Id never compromise MY integrity by being with someone who wears that on their face.
Besides, Im with HIM! HIM! HIM!
Why did i include this? B/c THIS is a woman song sung by a man.
What makes me think so? B/c a man would never notice someone else's cigarettes there. A woman totally would.
Oh, and is he like, upset that she is giving the new guy cigarettes? are they free cigarettes? Post coital cigarettes perhaps? For HIMMM? HMMM? The hidden cost of an affair. Switch to gum and save a relationship.
