It Seems like all my life
I've wanted to be a wife
So I went under the knife
And it really changed my life
Ever since that Oprah show
I've been wantin' me a change
Panty hose a time or two
...What?
Garter belts and high heel shoes
...No you di'int
Wore a big beehive hairdo
...Stop!
So they kicked me out of school
...Don't go there!
Everybody knew I was acting pretty strange
Since the change
They hardly recognize me
Even got a brand new name
I swear! I feel a little lighter
Since I went from Jim to Jane
It takes a while to get used to this
'Cause right now I'm still in pain
I was an unhappy man
Before the change
Rock my world little country boy, those Wrangler butts drive me nuts, uh!
Girlfriend I must confess
...Go ahead
Last night I was in a mess
...What happened?
My date, he was impressed
...Huh-uh
Untill I got undressed
...Huuuuh
When he saw my hairy chest
...Uh-hoo-hoo-hoo
He said, "You better explain."
...Don't you hate it when that happens?
Oh what's a girl to do?
...Tell me
Hit him with my high heel shoes
...No way
Once he came to, he knew
This woman's one bad dude
...You are?
But I'm just the thing for you
...That's right
If you're looking for a change
...He-he Stop!
Since the change
They hardly recognize me
Girl, I even got a brand new name
I swear! I feel a little lighter
Since I went from Jim to Jane
It takes a while to get used to this
'Cause right now I'm still in pain
I was an unhappy man
Talkin' 'bout an unhappy man
Now I'm a happy wo-man
Since the change
No you di'int. Stop it! What? Y-You go girl! Can't touch this!
