This Girl I Know

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

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

Then she said--you know
I'm gonna 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 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 the table over there
I think they think I'm being rude
I'm not being rude--I just want to know

Then she said...

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

And then she leaned back
And I leaned back
And we didn't say very much after that
