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.
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 🤷🏽♂️
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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.
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
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.
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 :-)
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 UA-cam comments section
@@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!
Ezra or Esme, your art still takes my breath away🖤
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
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
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.
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
the two dancers and their choreopraphy is so captivating, I could watch them dance for hours
She rocks
So refreshing to see someone being so themselves and making amazing music
this is genuinely such a beautiful piece of art. wow.
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
congrats for going on hormones!! this song is such a trans anthem
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.
You needed estrogen to figure out you were a woman? Then you weren't a woman to begin with.

But Ezra Miller is just bi.
Thank you sweeties for the likes. 😘

You mean "his" music, right?

ezra always looks so good!! exited for the album
Some 60's vibes? Ezra, amazing one!
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 :^)

I am just curious if ezra is a man or a woman?
@@DmNetworks woman
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.

@@winkydinkytoodlesnoot8141 get some help winkydinky, we're worried
@@chrisa7672 lol

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
When she plays this live, she says "this song is for trans women" ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
"I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" debuted at #23 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
Absolutely beautiful.
I back here every month, still feels the same emotions.
Love me some Ezra Furman. Can’t wait for the new album!

Thank u ezra for this masterpiece.
What a beautiful human.
This was amazing, pure artistry and beauty.
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
I'm attracted to every single version of Ezra
so underappreciated !!!
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
I love this. Giving me some Belle and Sebastian vibes.
That subtle eye make up is everything.
Love love love love LOVE this!
So glad I found this in my recommendations!!!
they're so enchanting
this song is incredible.
this is so good omfg
Album in my collection, thanks for vid.
Vocals on this are so good. Same with melody

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 ❤

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
