If you change 'girl' to 'boy', the song is 300% gayer.
Tearin’ Up My Heart (Gay version)
Let it go If
you want me boy
let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore
(straight version)

you want me girl

Simply substituting "girl" for "boy" not only makes it gayer, but reveals entirely new layers of meaning.
The song stops being a generic romantic complaint and becomes the soundtrack to a specific, real, and deeply felt drama: that of loving in secret, of begging for a sign from the other guy, of feeling that this love, by its mere existence, is breaking your heart.
Addressed to a "boy," the song captures the essence of teenage or young male love: the confusion, the intensity, the feeling that the world will end if that "boy" doesn't reciprocate. It's the sound of a heart struggling against a social prohibition.
What can sound like a cliché in a straight song sounds like a confession in a gay version. It's no longer just a love song; it's an act of visibility.
So yeah, next time you listen to it, change the lyrics. You'll see how a '90s pop gem instantly becomes an anthem of love and desire, even among boys.

This vid just reinforces my love for gay boys.
How about some girl-on-girl action?
No straighter when sung by a guy rather than the lesbian, Dusty.
yes especially the 80s pop songs i grew up with
The Man That Got Away
Many songs (particularly ones about love or sex), are unambiguously addressed to a woman or a man, or specifically sung from a male or female perspective. While it's not uncommon for musicians to perform songs "in character" rather than as themselves, some people can't accept an artist singing from the viewpoint of a different gender or sexual orientation than their own. However, this was averted in Rufus Wainwright's version.
Why this need by singers to gender-conform to the heterosexual agenda?
