Long Brown Hair Lyrics

Cover art for Long Brown Hair lyrics by Regina Spektor

"Why shouldn't it be me?" does imply that there is something unattainable or socially unacceptable about consummating the relationship, as does "Don't tell me what's proper/ Anyone can see/ I wasn't even her first/ So don't blame it on me." I feel like there must be something more to it--something more taboo than it just being a woman talking about another woman. Or is that still pretty taboo?
