Put Me in a Wig

# Put Me in a Wig

**[Verse 1]**
I used to get dressed and leave the house,
Same pair of jeans, same stupid blouse.
Never thought much about how I looked,
Never cared what people thought.

Then I went out one Friday night,
Got dragged along to a drag show.
I sat there thinking, “What the hell is this?”
Then she came out and stole the whole show.

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I said, “I could never do that.”
I said it twice, actually.
Then I caught myself thinking,
“...but could I?”

**[Chorus]**
Put me in a wig, paint my face,
Let me walk around like I own the place.
Give me heels I can barely stand in,
A dress I probably can't get my head in.
I wanna hear that music start,
I wanna see if I've got the nerve.
I came in here to watch a queen—
Now I'm wondering what I'd look like as her.

**[Verse 2]**
I bought some makeup. Didn't know what it did.
Put too much on. Looked like a kid.
Tried to draw a line above my eye,
Made one side good and the other one... why?

I watched tutorials at two AM,
Paused them every thirty seconds.
“Okay, so that's the cheek.
No. That's the other cheek.”

My friends started asking what I was doing.
I told them, “Nothing. It's just a hobby.”
Then I spent eighty euros on a wig
And named her before I named the dog.

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Now I'm practicing walking
When nobody's around.
I've fallen over twice,
But I'm getting better.

**[Bridge]**
I used to think,
“That's not me.”
Then I thought,
“Maybe it could be.”

Then I thought,
“Just one show.”
Then,
“Maybe two.”

Then I found myself at three in the morning
searching for wigs.

That's when I knew I was screwed.

**[Final Chorus]**
Put me in a wig, paint my face,
I'm done pretending I don't want the stage.
Give me a name, give me a number,
Give me a reason to stay out longer.
I wanna walk out there and hear them shout,
Even if I trip, even if I wipe out.
I thought I was watching somebody become—
Turns out I was figuring out who I was.

**[Outro]**
So...
Who's got a spare pair of heels?

I think I'm ready.
