Diana Ross "I′m coming out" - Hero image for my challenge "A Song You Thought Was Queer, but Isn't" (Link in description)

Supposedly, Diana Ross didn't know the term coming out in a gay context, when she started singing this hit song, which was meant as a general statement, not lesbian or gay.

Abbreviated lyrics:

I′m coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

There′s a new me coming out and I just have to live

And I wanna give, I'm completely positive

I think this time around, I am gonna do it

Like you never knew it, oh, I′ll make it through

The time has come for me to break out of this shell

I have to shout that I am coming out

I′ve got to show the world, all that I wanna be

And all my abilities, there's so much more to me

Somehow I′ll have to make them just understand

I got it well in hand and oh how I have planned

I'm spreadin′ love, there is no need to fear

And I just feel so good, every time I hear

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show
