Gaydar

So they say if you're trying to meet someone
You should just not try to meet someone if you know what I mean
So I tried not to look desperate at the Sound of Music Singalong
Clutching my curtain costume and my lyric sheet

You know I wanted some Summer Lovin'
And I wanted to be cool
But the fact is I was checkin' everybody out
Thinking `maybe at the Singalong Sound of Music.
Oh God Kate, stop kidding yourself'

But I was dressed as Liesl, he was dressed as Rolf
And our eyes locked across the sea of people
We finally got to speak, he told me he likes Annie second best
And he likes all the same songs as me

Why do I always go for the gay guys?
You'd think by now I'd get some savvy
But when God gave out gaydars she forgot about me
So I end up sad and lonely. Who could it be?

Anyway, that night I didn't know his orientation
And neither did he. Well he didn't know it yet.
So he asked me out, I said yes,
And yes everything was perfect.

Well, come to think of it, his friend would come on all of our dates
And insist on sitting in the front seat
So he could look in the mirror.
My lover was a bigger prima donna than me with better hair,
Better shoes, better nails, and there's some other stuff.
Well let's just leave that there.

And let's face it, I can see the appeal of a real man,
Someone who I can count on to program the video and change my tyres.
But the truth is, my idea of sexy is a guy who know the words to
`Climb Every Mountain'

Why do I always go for the gay guys?
What a hard-knock life for me
My straightdar is flailing in all directions
No wonder it is failing me. Who could it be?

Anyway, one night I came out and asked him.
He said he wasn't gay, he was just asexual.
I said `What a relief, honey that's just great, I'm so glad we've finally worked things out'.

So my exboyfriend and I , we made a pact
If we're still single when we're old, and don't need sex anymore
We'll move in together, maybe get married
Go see all the musicals:

Maybe this time I'll get lucky
Feel that one singular sensation again
Oh wouldn't it be lov-er-ly

If we're people who need people
Together come what may.
We'll be talking happy talk.
You talk about things you like to do.
Happy and gay.
Do soh Do!
