Try This On For Size

She doesn't like my style of dress her taste is different so I guess I must confess her clothes are nice all put together with pizzazz and spice Soft and big, warm and comfy she says it makes me look so frumpy Her body's tall, sleek and slim she can wear clothes that hug her skin My body's aged from giving birth it's changed my shape, my walk, my girth Some day she'll find that just like me her body slim will no longer be And I do know some future day you'll come to me and you will say The old baggy jeans and flannel shirt may I borrow to wear instead of my skirt And your old worn slippers may I keep the high heeled shoes don't fit my feet Those worn out pj's look so good I'll get some like them, I think I should So together in the rocking chair feet put up, down with the hair Sitting in our comfy clothes we'll be together under the throws Oh dare to dream that'll be the day in the mean time I will say Just smile at me when you come around all dressed up to go out on the town And know that I'm now warm and happy you look just fine so cold and snappy
