Biography

Divine was a character created by American actor, singer and drag queen Harris Glenn Milstead (October 19, 1945 – March 7, 1988). Harris Glenn Milstead's drag character Divine is most famous by their roles in John Waters films such as "Pink Flamingos," "Female Trouble," "Polyester" and Hairspray. In early 1970's Divine appeared in several avant-garde performances alongside San Francisco drag collective, The Cockettes, and later performed in Tom Eyen's off-Broadway plays "Women Behind Bars" and "The Neon Woman." In 1982, American composer Bobby Orlando wrote a number of Hi-NRG singles for Divine, including "Native Love (Step By Step)," "Shoot Your Shot" and "Love Reaction." Later in the 1980's Divine achieved global chart success with the Barry Evangeli and Stock Aitken & Waterman produced singles "You Think You're a Man," and "I'm So Beautiful."

LYRICS

You say that you'll be mine foreverAlthough I don't know whyBut if you want to be my loverDon't waste my timeI see you out with her around in townEach and every dayBut if you want me you must prove yourselfGive her up todaychorusGive it up, baby give it upGive it up, then you can call me upGive it up.Although it's only from a distanceI've had my eyes on youI'm sure you realize the problemIt's dealt to youI was not asking much to leave her outBut everything you doAnd if you ever want somebody elseI'll find someone too.(chorus 3x)
