[Verse 1]
All I said was—why are you so fat?
If you don't want to be and all that
No big deal—I just want to know

[Verse 2]
Mind your own business—no I don't mean you
It's the table over there, I think they think I'm being rude
I'm not being rude—I just want to know

[Chorus]
And then she said—you know
I'm gonna lose a lot of weight someday
(Lose a lot of weight, lose a lot of weight)
I'll get some new clothes
I'll change my style
I'll meet a lot of men
I'll have a lot of dates
I'll discriminate
I'll have a lot of fun
I'll get myself together

[Verse 3]
And then I said—why not do it now?
If you really want to be and all that
No big deal—I just want to know
[Verse 4]
Mind your own business—no I don't mean you
It's the table over there, I think they think I'm being rude
I'm not being rude—I just want to know

[Chorus]
Then she said—you know
I'm gonna lose a lot of weight someday
(Lose a lot of weight, lose a lot of weight)
I'll get some new clothes
I'll change my style (I'm gonna have a good time)
I'll cut my hair (I'm gonna wear my new shoes)
I'll dye it too
I'll meet a lot of men
I'll have a lot of dates (And Spandex pants)
I'll get myself together

[Bridge]
And then she leaned over to me
And she said—this is gonna 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
(Am I supposed to throw away my career and hop into bed with him or something?)
(Is there a special way you're supposed to act?)
(Then I'd probably try to keep things sexy and wreck it)
[Verse 5]
And then she leaned back
And I leaned back
And we didn't say very much, not very much after that
