Lyrics All my friends are writing their resumes My responsible friends are applying for jobs But me, I was considering ditching Ezra, and going by Esme Baby, would you find that so odd? My dying friends are finding religion While my intellectual friends are all denying God But me, I got just one ambition I sit around all day wishing That the real me might be the one you want I want to be your girlfriend I want to walk down the street hanging from your arm That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend And leave behind this loveless world I know Honey, I know that I don't have the body you want in a girlfriend What I am working with is less than ideal But maybe, baby, it's not all about what you thought that you wanted It's about the way I can make you feel Oooh I want to be your girlfriend I want to walk down the street hanging on your arm That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend And blow your mind each night when you come home
@@hevillepeacefoot8647 some people are just lazy and don Anna look it up for themselves, so this comment saves time. Thank you for posting these lyrics!
yeah this is spectacular in every way. the choreography, the costume, the performance, the frankness. ezra's geniusness. music that always feels so honest and fresh
I thought I had seen it all from the Instagram previews, but the finished project is unreal. Thank you for being so candid and vulnerable in your art. The joy in life is stitched together from small moments like these.
Never heard their music before and didn't think I would cry my eyes out watching this. I'm trans and I've been feeling really shitty latelty so this was perfect.
I'm feeling the same way nutte! Also trans, and I just keep crying everytime I watch/listen. As another commenter mentioned, this is "Achingly beautiful"
I showed this to a girl I really like. She's my girlfriend now and well I guess things went well lol. I'm so full of emotions right now. We're going to be there to watch each other mature as women. Jessica, you're one amazing girl.
Me Breaking Gender Norms: Ezra Give Me Strength My Friends: Ezra Miller or Ezra Furman? Me: Yes. EDIT: (4/6/2020 E. Miller chokes a fan) Yeah nvm just Ezra Furman.
youtube randomly recommended me this song around the time i was beginning to question my gender, i remember listening to this song on repeat for hours because it's so insanely good, i feel like it helped me figure out that im nonbinary, it helped me become more comfortable with gender stuff, so truly thank you so much for this song Ezra, it's absolutely beautiful
Never heard of them before, but I just fallen in love, and I'm asking myself why have I lived this long without having notion of this beautiful artist. These days, in particular, this song speaks to my soul, I nearly cried. I'm just realizing that I can relate to all this more than I ever though. It has always been there, but I've always tried to think about something else. Oh, sometimes I wish I could be your boyfriend, Ezra.
I've been following your music for years. Ever since this person on an anonymous forum site shared a link to I wanna destroy myself. I feel like I've gotten to see you become bolder and more confident. It's been pretty awesome.
Me discovering this song months ago and listening to it on repeat for weeks: I guess I just really like this song lol 😅 Me now having started hormones and living life as a woman: I UNDERSTAND NOW WHY I RELATED SO HARD
I did the exact same thing, started hormones this week. I always knew there was a reason this song would always bring me to tears but I was to scared to accept it.
@@doubleyouexwhyamzed Thats literally not what I said at all... I didn't understand why I loved this song when it came out. Later I came to terms with my womanhood and began my transition. Then I looked back at my fondness of the song and understood why I related so hard.
@@soleydoll4877 how did you not understand why you liked the song so much if you related to it to begin with? Sounds like you could only relate to it and understand it after your hormones 🤷🏽♂️
omg this is SO beautiful and so is she. i am cisgender but this breaks my heart and i feel so much for trans folks who can’t be their authentic selves. what an incredible piece of art
No matter whether you’re Ezra or Esme, this song is one of my favorites right now and h e c k you’re a beautiful human 😊. I only recently found your music but I’m obsessed now, no turning back 😂
It’s makes me sad that a lot of the comments on Ezra’s video are just hating on trans people. I know she wouldn’t like that. I saw her in person at a concert and let me just say that as a trans person, they made me feel like someone out there gets me. Because all these transphobic comments I already have to deal with everyday of my life? That hasn’t exactly been great on my mental state and I doubt that it has been great for any other trans person. So, these artists like Ezra Furman make me feel like maybe I will find happiness as a man someday just like she has as a woman. She gives me hope and it really hurts to see people degrading that hope. I know there will probably be some reply to this saying “get help, lol” or “there is only one gender” or “you mean ‘he’” and I know I can’t stop you, but just know that this artist, Ezra, has made me, and I hope other trans people, stronger, so we can handle people like you on the daily. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️! Sending love to all. Especially Ezra Furman, and the very beautiful woman she is.
This song means so fucking much for me. Sad and heartbreaking that we have to go though so much hard things that we dont have a single choice in. Thank u ezra for this masterpiece.
This song really has got the ability to let me remember something I forgot, but that I knew when I just went into this world and I feel like everyone really knew, we don't fall in love with a girl or a boy or everyone in between, we fall in love with a soul. Thank you ❤
When people try to make sense of me (a lesbian) and my trans wife, or friends try to make sense of their LGBT children, I remind them people fall in love with people and that's all there is to it.
Am Stot, 19 years old, am straight but i really feel what y'all are going through and the opposite of straight is not curved or broken or bent its just the same word :straight in a different language that only you and your significant other will understand. Thanks @ezrafurman 1st Aug 2022 still here.
So I'm new here, can anyone please explain how Ezra identifies/their background/what's up this dude cuz I love their vibe I just have no idea what it is or how to reference it lmao
In an interview last year, Ezra said that he identified as a bisexual male who just did male differently than most. But I think more recently, Ezra has said that he is trans. On his twitter, he has the pronouns he/she/him/her listed so I think, currently, he's fine with either.
I have followed your music ever since Sex Ed came out, and I just absolutely adore your music & your passion in creating such beautiful lyrics. thank you for making such sweet, meaningful songs :-)
oh my god... this is so pretty . the vibe, the sound.. it's so good and so powerful, the singer is really beautiful! way to go, let's go break the gender norms !! ♥️ deserves more recognition, i'll definitely be adding this to my playlists
Lyrics
All my friends are writing their resumes
My responsible friends are applying for jobs
But me, I was considering ditching Ezra, and going by Esme
Baby, would you find that so odd?
My dying friends are finding religion
While my intellectual friends are all denying God
But me, I got just one ambition
I sit around all day wishing
That the real me might be the one you want
I want to be your girlfriend
I want to walk down the street hanging from your arm
That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend
And leave behind this loveless world I know
Honey, I know that I don't have the body you want in a girlfriend
What I am working with is less than ideal
But maybe, baby, it's not all about what you thought that you wanted
It's about the way I can make you feel
Oooh
I want to be your girlfriend
I want to walk down the street hanging on your arm
That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend
And blow your mind each night when you come home
You literally looked them up on google and copied and pasted it here
Scrubbing Bubble what’s wrong with that
Scrubbing Bubble yeah?? Lol how are you being elitist on a fucking TH-cam comments section

and on top of all that, this song just sounds great. definitely one of my favorites of this year
@@carstarsarstenstesenn oh absolutely !! had it on repeat for months now. brilliant stuff
Ezra or Esme, your art still takes my breath away🖤

Sometimes you find amazing anthems at 1:00 am when you’re about to look for asmr to go to sleep
Matt Duncan wait wtf i was doing exactly that AAHHA
are you a spy
............... how did you DO THAT?!
like... exactly 1:14 and came from an asmr video????
Matt Duncan this was uncanny
Never heard their music before and didn't think I would cry my eyes out watching this. I'm trans and I've been feeling really shitty latelty so this was perfect.
You mean "his" music, right?
Philip France If they meant ‘his’ then they would’ve used ‘his’ you fucking tool

theres only 2 genders bye
@@zuckmeoff3035 bye

the two dancers and their choreopraphy is so captivating, I could watch them dance for hours
I love all the positivity in the comment section
She rocks
this is genuinely such a beautiful piece of art. wow.
Oh boy this gets me in the gender feels. It's hard enough to date even when you aren't trans
The gender feels? You are why America is dying.
Chris A get over yourself lmfao
@@winkydinkytoodlesnoot8141 get some help winkydinky, we're worried

When she plays this live, she says "this song is for trans women" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
ezra always looks so good!! exited for the album

here after ezra fully came out as both exclusively she/her and as a mother 💞💕 so proud.
He looks ridiculous as a female wtf
I Am Really "PROUD" Of Her Too!
Those lyrics make so much more sense now

You needed estrogen to figure out you were a woman? Then you weren't a woman to begin with.

Some 60's vibes? Ezra, amazing one!
This is the content I wanted to find on the Internet in 2019
"I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" debuted at #23 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
I'm going from Esmerelda to Ezra haha. Opposite of the lyrics
What are the odds? That's amazing
It's a phase.
@@benp9793 I bet you being a piece of shit is not a phase, so why would it be the case for the op's male identification?
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 to be fair, people are rarely anything permanently. He could stop being an asshole any time.
Congratulations, Ezra :^)
Aaawwwww... Oh Sweetie, You Are a Brave, Strong & Beautiful Woman But I Think That Most People Already Knew. You Be You Girl! Much Love & Respect.💖
This feels kinda mitski mixed with david bowie. I love it.
OMG YES
@@maciel.4539 omg imagine a mitski collab. Or even st. Vincent.
Wrong.
And Alex Turner
I was thinking a little like rufus wainwright
Shes just gorgeous
saw Ezra a few years ago playing live. absolutely amazing.
So pretty in this video! Odd but I love Ezra's teeth.
ugh me too! for some weird reason i can't stop repeating 1:01 they are so cute lmao
A bit happy some people like crooked teeth
@@martinapaladino7618 fuck yeah, her facial expression is so aesthetic.
i was just thinking this! idk why but they add to her prettiness
Wow! Looking good Ez!
Can't wait for the new album.
Absolutely beautiful.
I back here every month, still feels the same emotions.

Oh my heart! I’m crazy about every little part of this song & video 🥰😍🙌🏽 Much love from Copenhagen ❤️🍁❤️💕💕❤️🎶❤️
I’ll just flat out say it..This song had me tearing, n smiling!! All I can say is thank you, I love it😊
I'm obsessed with the dance, the fits, the song...just everything! 💞
everything about this is gorgeous.
I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. This song is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me
I love this song so much I'm just so glad it exists
This song means so fucking much for me. Sad and heartbreaking that we have to go though so much hard things that we dont have a single choice in.
Thank u ezra for this masterpiece.
i'm living for this
I love this. Giving me some Belle and Sebastian vibes.
Gosh, this is bittersweet. Achingly lovely 😊
Achingly lovely... what a pure description of this work
Anderson Razlplaz thanks sweetheart 💖

I'm attracted to every single version of Ezra
This song is speaking directly to my soul and it hurts
I clicked because I thought this was a cover of girl in red's song. I stayed because of this masterpiece
This video has such charm
Awesome. Not really my cup of tea but it’s really good!
A friend recommended this gold.
obsessed w the ppl in the comments discovering her for the first time
This is emotional fire.
I've heard this one my local radio twice lately!
no shit?? damn my radio channels are boring
even the alt one plays the same boring stuff every day, i switch to phone music real quik
so underappreciated !!!
So glad I found this in my recommendations!!!
I'm speechless..... this is so amazingly cool and has such warm nostalgic energy to me, wow I adore it! And this outfit looks so good!
What a beautiful human.
this dance is breathtaking... so beautiful
Vocals on this are so good. Same with melody
Am Stot, 19 years old, am straight but i really feel what y'all are going through and the opposite of straight is not curved or broken or bent its just the same word :straight in a different language that only you and your significant other will understand.

Ezra looks so flawless I love it. This is a total masterpiece
this is so good omfg
Every night, I seem to come back to this song. It's so beautiful, it makes me tear up.
Album in my collection, thanks for vid.
this song is incredible.
So I'm new here, can anyone please explain how Ezra identifies/their background/what's up this dude cuz I love their vibe I just have no idea what it is or how to reference it lmao
Transgender, I think....? I don't know either. All the tags on sexuality is so confusing. I can't remember them.
I feel like they're just breaking the gender norms and there's no actual identity stuff involved, at least that's how I read it.
If in doubt keep it neutral. It doesn't have to be a choice between "she" or "he" if they don't want it to be
Yeah I'm not assuming a label, just curious if there is one at all
In an interview last year, Ezra said that he identified as a bisexual male who just did male differently than most. But I think more recently, Ezra has said that he is trans. On his twitter, he has the pronouns he/she/him/her listed so I think, currently, he's fine with either.
I want to see Ezra live, please come to Mexico ;~;
YES

Such a great song (as well as the video) ✨

This was amazing, pure artistry and beauty.
I'm so glad TH-cam recommended me this

finally some new fucking music I can 1000% get behind
This speaks to me on an emotional and spiritual level 💜💜
i cant even relate to the song, it's just so good i cant stop listening to it.
Months later after finding this song and it’s stills one of my favorites

Love love love love LOVE this!
This is the best video on TH-cam
Amo esta canción

This is beautiful
Here I am at 1am crying on the bathroom floor thinking how probably no one in my family actually accepts me
I love you Ezra!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
the unplugged version of this hits me even more
this is soooooo good
