Boy George - Butterfly On A Wheel lyrics

When I was a girl
I hung from your arm
My laughter echoed down the street
You stopped to kiss me
I thought we were alone
Then I heard the sound of running feet
An angry heartbeat

Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

From the day you were born
You had too much to say
They tried to shut you down
But you said it anyway
Questions, questions, questions
(So many questions)
Oh, won't you do things my way
(Do things my way)
What kind of guys do you like?

You're still afraid to say
No one ever tells you you're too straight
They tell you too queer
But no one ever says you're too straight
Back to black

Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Does it matter who I wear?
Does it matter who I kiss?
I love normal people
'Cause they don't exist
I mean they can if they want to
I said, they can if they want to

Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Who breaks a butterfly, yeah, tough guy

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Who breaks a butterfly, yeah, tough guy
Punch, slap, kick, tears
This fear is real
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
