Maybe Because I'M Skinny Now
Sure feel the cold a whole lot more
Since losing a bunch of pounds
Never considered there'd be side effects
And there's surely others I've found
Actually need a whole new wardrobe
Costly to lose so much weight
One good thing I can fit my old clothes
I wore on my very first date
Another thing is I can ask for a booth
At my favourite eatery again
Instead of sitting conspicuously at a table
Embarrassing me and my friends
Even can be seen in my Speedo once more
Showing off my skinny physique
Haven't done that for a very long while
It's been almost fifty-two weeks
For those of you thinking of maybe a diet
Be aware of the side effects
But all in all you'll feel real fantastic
And regain your self respect
