The Lyrics
Dedicated to anyone who's trying to shed a few pounds...or a lot...
Oh, baby do you feel a bit heavy right now?
Would you rather have a scoop of ice cream?
Yeah I've never been on a diet quite like this
And I know that tonight I feel hunger pangs
And the scale won't ever let us pretend
Baby no one lately has told me that I'm thin
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The weigh-in is the hardest part
Core or points, it's written on my card
You try to loose weight, the pressure can be hard
The weigh-in is the hardest part
Well yeah I might be chastened cause my middle is round
All it ever got me was down
But all of those deserts they made me feel good
And fruit and low-fat cheese, must I eat right now?
Baby weight watcher's the only diet right know
That got me loosing weight, I don't know how
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The weigh-in is the hardest part
Core or points, it's written on my card
You try to loose weight, the pressure can be hard
The weigh-in is the hardest part
"Fried eggs won't kill you baby, a jelly donut too"
That's what they're telling me. "Hard cheese, forget Tofu."
Though it might block my heart, I'm dyin' for rich food
So pass the whipped cream please, pour on the sugar too.
