LYRICS
We all strive to be original
Don’t want to be called out on a cliché
Some feel shame in writing more of the same
But baby that’s not the way
I like what I like, and I don’t feel bad
That my favorite stories have always had—Sex pollen, I’m fallen’ in love
Clothes-sharing fits me like a glove
Folks that keep talking in their sleep
While they huddle for warmth to survive, I’m dreaming of
Mistletoe kisses for the holiday season
And getting fake-married for a stupid reason
I’ve read it before but I just want more
Call them contrived but the tropes keep the fandom aliveBiology or some ritual
Means they must have sex so they don’t die
A magic spell turns someone into a kitten
Then a potion makes them unable to lie
A soul-bond, and now they’re in each other’s minds
My favorite fics always wind up having[CHORUS]
You can go Harlequin or to a coffeeshop
Or back to high school with the genders swapped
Make them meet online, make them suffer and pine
And if you’re feeling bold, maybe
Make a man have a baby[CHORUS]
…I’m unoriginal to my very core
Give me slaves in collars, a little h/c
Hookers, strippers, bartenders, or all three
Kinky wings, heat cycles and everything
Familiar and sweet, make my life complete with
Practice kissing turning friends lovers,
Awkward boners between step-brothers
Truth or Dare, spin the bottle, photographers in love with models
It’s contrived but the tropes make me feel aliveGive me just one more fairytale AU…
