Country girl I luh youUUUuuuUU LYRICS: I stick with real things Usually facts and figures When information's in its place I minimize the guessing game Guess what? I don't like guessing games Or when I feel things Before I know the feelings How am I supposed to operate If I'm just tossed around by fate? Like on an unexpected date? With the stranger who might talk too fast Or ask me questions about myself Before I've decided that She can ask me questions about myself She might sit too close Or call the waiter by his first name Or eat Oreos But eat the cookie before the cream? But what scares me the most what scares me the most Is what if when she sees me, what if she doesn't like it? What if she runs the other way and I can't hide from it? What happens then? If when she knows me, she’s only disappointed? What if I give myself away, to only get it given back? I couldn't live with that So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind This way I get the best view So that, when she sees me, I want her to And you may be asking yourself, "Dawn don't you think you're being a little defensive??" And UGh! i'm not defensive! I'm simply being cautious I can't risk reckless dating Due to my miscalculating why a certain stranger stands in line I've seen in movies Most made for television You cannot be too careful When it comes to sharing your life I could end up a miserable wife (oop, sorry girls!) But she could be criminal, some sort of psychopath who escaped from an institution, somewhere where they don't have girls She could have masterminded some way to find me She could be colorblind! How untrustworthy is that She could be less than kind Or even worse she could be very nice, have lovely eyes And make me laugh, come out of hiding What do I do with that? Oh, God What if when she sees me I like her and she knows it? What if she opens up a door And I can't close it? What happens then? If when she holds me My heart is set in motion I'm not prepared for that I'm scared of breaking open But still I can't help from hoping To find someone to talk to Who likes the way I am Someone who when she sees me Wants to again

As a gay guy I've created my own gay version in my head. For example: "You can't be too careful when sharing your strife. I could end up with a miserable life!" "What if he escaped from an institution somewhere where they don't have gays!" Etc. Etc. And honestly it's exactly how my anxiety of dating is. 🤣

Honestly "somewhere where they dont have gays" works with both gay versions, cus like the girls one doesnt make much sense when sapphic, cus like, if shes in an institution wouldnt it all be girls?

I finally got the courage to ask my best friend out! She said yes. I’ve always been terrified of love, but she’s changed that. Something about her is just so.. comforting. Anyway, this is amazing timing! I used to relate to this song every time I sang it, and now I get to look back on it and know it’s possible to love even with insecurity. :D

once again, an amazing song. made 1000% better by Eiry’s “but it’s gay,” and made 10000% better by adding the concept of internalized homophobia and just bringing sm depth. because god, as much as internalized homophobia leaves a terrible taste in our mouths, it adds the perfect flavor to a piece of media idk

when I was like 12 I dreamed of being a singer or some shit so I could cover every song I love and make it gay, I'm so happy to be able to listen to your "but it's gay" covers and imagining wlw people of all age finding songs to relate to makes my heart flutter 💗 thank you 💗

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO JOLENE AND THOUGHT. "Hey I need more gay in my life"

The amount of emotion in this cover and your other songs is perfection❤️

This songs like a song about a girl in the closet who’s scared to come out even though she’s in love.

This version feels a lot like wlw crushing on a girl she thinks is straight (but there's always that kernel of doubt). "Guessing games" "To only get it given back" "But I'm just fine inside my shell-shaped mind, this way I get the best view" "An institution somewhere where they dont have girls!!"

Also the "comes out of hiding" bc she's afraid of what if her crush crush is straight and her coming out come off awkard

1:38 oh my gosh I don't know why but having Dawn have her own lil internal monologue going instead of Jenna talking just MAKES this cover

Yes, another beautiful masterpiece.

Reinaeiry: *Updates* My skin clears, my grades rise, and homophobes disappears 🥰😊😌

Okay when they sang the part that says "Oh god," at 2:38, I got extreme MARINA vibes. Like damn. Your voice is beautiful.

i love that she takes songs and puts them in her range. As an alto who could never dream of reaching some of the solo songs on broadway it makes me feel nice! : D

I SAW THE TITLE AND THOUGHT OF “ME AND MY HUSBAND” BY MITSKI. do you think you could make this song gay? it’s such a sweet song but imo would be better gay~ lovely singing reinaeiry i cant wait to hear your voice more! have a great day :)
