케이블 TV의 보급과 더불어 한국의 안방에서도 수 많은 해외 영상 시리즈 물이 봇물 터지듯 수입되고 있다.
10년 동안 미국의 안방을 장악했던 NBC의 시트콤 프렌즈(Friends)나 전문직 여성들의 과감한 섹스 라이프와 우정을 다룬 HBO의 섹스 앤 더 시티(Sex And The City) 등은 이미 종영되었으나 아직까지도 국내에서 많은 사랑을 받고 있으며 소프라노스(Sopranos)나 윌 앤 그레이스(Will & Grace)와 같은 프로그램을 선호하는 이들도 상당수에 달한다. 사실 일반적인 한국 사회에서는 동성연애자를 꺼리는 편견이 아직까지도 크게 자리잡고 있으나 미국의 시트콤들을 보면 공공연하게 게이들의 삶을 이해하는 시각을 보여주곤 한다. 게이 커플이 등장하는 윌 앤 그레이스의 주인공들이나 여자친구와도 같이 친한 게이 남자친구를 가진 SATC의 캐리를 보고 “와, 나도 남자 문제에 관해 편하게 속마음을 털어 놓을 수 있는 게이 남자친구가 있었으면 좋겠어.”라고 말하는 젊은 여성들을 흔히 만날 수 있을 것이다.
If you were in my heart I’d surely not break you If you were beside me and my love would take you I’ll keep you in safety for ever protect you I’ll hide you away from the world you rejected I’ll hide you, I’ll hide you If you were in my heart I’d surely not break you Take my hand show no fear If you were beside me and my love would take you I’ll keep you in safety for ever protect you I’ll hide you away from the world you rejected I’ll hide you, I’ll hide you

Always waitin' for someone To make me happy, pick me up I realize that someone is me What you call life, that ain't livin' Bless the child that's got his own It's my season, now I stand alone Just thought that I would let you know Some things you just can't control
[Chorus:] Should I wear my hair in a ponytail? Should I dress myself up in chanel? Do I measure me by what you think? Absolutely not, absolutely not If I go to work in a mini-skirt Am I givin' you the right to flirt? I won't compromise my point of view Absolutely not, absolutely not
Told myself I won't complain But some things have got to change Not gon' be a victim of All your social push and shove Right or wrong, you judge the same My picture never fit your frame What you thought, you'll never know You can't see me with your mind closed
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I see, life means more to me More than fancy clothes More than you'll ever know All the ugly words that I heard you say Made me stronger everyday Now I live my life for me
[Repeat Chorus 3x]
Oh, ooh Woah, oh, ooh All my ladies say Oh, ooh Woah, oh, ooh Absolutely not, absolutely not All my ladies say Oh, ooh Woah, oh, ooh All my ladies say Absolutely not, absolutely not

We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you. We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to" Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah Oh everybody waits so long Oh baby why you wait so long Won't you come on! Come on! I've been walking in Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?" Sometimes I want to say to myself Sometimes I say Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh I won't miss you child I guess I'm lying to myself It's just you and no one else Lord I won't miss you child You've been blotting out my mind Fooling on my time No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah Lord, I miss you child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah
I looked into your eyes they told me plenty I already knew you never felt a thing so soon forgotten all that you do in more than words I tried to tell you the more I tried I failed
I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day
I used to think my life was often empty a lonely space to fill you hurt me more than I ever would have imagined you made my world stand still and in that stillness there was a freedom I never felt before
I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day
something fearless in your eyes something careless about your smile something fragile when you hold your breath and when you move you move right through me, through mefingertips so gently on my skin i'm underwater, i feel the flood begin fingertips so gently on my skin you're taking over and over again shed your armour spin your web hypnotize me with the longest stare make your promise or maybe it's a threat 'cos when you look, you look right through me over again under my skin over again fingertips so gently on my skin i'm underwater, i feel the flood begin fingertips so gently on my skin you're taking over and over again we're flesh and bone together and alone and we're looking for a home silver moonlight fills the sky calling gently to the evening tide you're unfolding right before my eyes and when you move you move right through me under my skin over again fingertips so gently on my skin i'm underwater, i feel the flood begin i'm underwater, i'm underwater
You can depend on certainty Count it out and weigh it up again You can be sure You've reached the end And still you don't feel Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful You are yes you are
You can ignore What you've become Take it out and see it die again You can be here For who's a friend And still you don't feel Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful You are yes you are Innermost thoughts Will be understood and You can have all you need
Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful Do you know you're beautiful You are yes you are
