From the recording 1981 • Jane Siberry
Lyrics
All I said was why are you so fat
if you don't want to be like that?
no big deal - I just want to know
mind your own business
no, I don't mean you
it's that table over there
I think they think I'm being rude
I'm not being rude
I just want to know
then she said -
you know I'm going to
lose a lot of weight someday
I'll get some new clothes
I'll change my style
I'll cut my hair
I'll meet a lot of men
I'll have a lot of dates
I'll discriminate
I'll get myself together
and then I said - why not do it now
if you don't really want to be and all that?
no big deal - I just want to know
mind your own business
no, I don't mean you
it's that table over there
I think they think I'm being rude
I'm not being rude
I just want to know
then she said -
you know I'm going
to lose a lot of weight someday...
and then she leaned over to me
and she said this is going to sound weird
but the reason I don't do it now
is I have this crazy fear
that I wouldn't know what to do
if a man thought I was... sexy or something
and then she leaned back
and I leaned back
and we didn't say very much after that
