Divine by Nina West Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I was a tedious mess when I was 17
Black, white, no life on my silver screen
I guess I couldn't be bothered with the fabulous
Bad luck, so stuck, on the struggle bus
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then I saw this dude in the spotlight
She grabbed me with the glitter, it felt right
Crankin' up the color to full bright
A blinding new reality
[Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
(Ooh, ooh)
He got the look and finesse, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
And if you want some magic
That is your woman
[Verse 2]
Since the beginning of time, we've been everywhere
Shakespeare, so queer, now we're on the air
Beauty, glamour, and glitz, that's what we do
Say yes to this dress, get these heels on you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're gonna claim our time in the spotlight
We're blowin' off the ceiling, so hold tight
We got the sickening looks and the walk right
It's gender-bending fantasy
[Bridge 1]
Seeing all these queens come alive
Baby, if you hear me, say "yeah, yeah, yeah"
Gonna drag it up to survive
Baby, if you hear me, say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
[Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
(Ooh, ooh)
He got the look and finesse, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
And if you want some magic
That is your woman
[Post-Chorus]
That is a man in a dress
He got the look and finesse
That is a man in a dress
He got the look and finesse
[Bridge 2]
We made them in the Birdcage
Fierstein in Hairspray
All the girls in To Wong Foo
Hedwig and Priscilla [?]
Frank-N-Furter's rock choir
Paging Mrs. Doubtfire
Lola singing Kinky Boots
Miss Divine and Tootsie too
[Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
(Ooh, ooh)
He got the look and finesse, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
That is a man in a dress
And if you want some magic
That is your woman
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh)
I am a man in a dress
(Ooh, ooh)
I got the look and finesse, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
I am a man in a dress
And if you want some magic
I am your woman
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I was a tedious mess when I was 17
Black, white, no life on my silver screen
I guess I couldn't be bothered with the fabulous
Bad luck, so stuck, on the struggle bus
