How do you know me just from the color of my skin Not accepting that which is deep within How do you know me from looking into my eyes My heart could be filled with deception and lies How do you know me from the way I look My intelligence will often be mistook How do you know me from the way I talk An accent or a twang or lisp why mock How do you know me from the way I walk A strut, sashay, limp taken ad hoc How do you know me from what people say Maybe they’re just have a bad day How do you know me from the way I dress Can’t I express my depress How do you know me from what you hear Maybe I’m not really queer How do you know me from what you read Words can often mislead How do you know me if you don’t ask Leaving it to your imagination is not its task How do you know me or my dreams You already have an opinion it seems How do you know I won’t make the world glow Given the chance to put on a show Andreas Simic©

How Do You Know Me
How do you know me just from the color of my skin Not accepting that which is deep within How do you know me from looking into my eyes My heart could be filled with deception and lies How do you know me from the way I look My intelligence will often be mistook How do you know me from the way I talk An accent or a twang or lisp why mock How do you know me from the way I walk A strut, sashay, limp taken ad hoc How do you know me from what people say Maybe they’re just have a bad day How do you know me from the way I dress Can’t I express my depress How do you know me from what you hear Maybe I’m not really queer How do you know me from what you read Words can often mislead How do you know me if you don’t ask Leaving it to your imagination is not its task How do you know me or my dreams You already have an opinion it seems How do you know I won’t make the world glow Given the chance to put on a show Andreas Simic©
