July 2000 Almost a ballerina but She weighs three hundred pounds And this world just won't accept A ballerina that's soft and round And she doesn't eat as much as All the skinny girls would like to think But then she doesn't bring it up in Someone else's kitchen sink Oh and this world is unfair And this world is so unkind Well if not in its deeds Than at least in her mind She's become the perfect victim Because she never tries So instead of a happy ending Her dreams are pushed aside Almost a heartbeat away from The man she'd love to love And if there were a heaven She'd fit him like a glove But he doesn't notice her beauty So ample and so rare So she figures if your not a rake Then he don't even care Oh and this world is unfair And this world is so unkind Well if not in its deeds Than at least in her mind She's become the perfect victim Because she never tries So instead of a happy ending Her dreams are left behind Almost a million miles from The woman she'd like to be And if she could only lose some weight She knows she'd be happy But she reads the signs that advertise Be a new and thinner me And she wonders if beauty is skin deep Or is it just skinny *(or is it something you feel inside That some people just can't see)*

Almost A Ballerina
July 2000 Almost a ballerina but She weighs three hundred pounds And this world just won't accept A ballerina that's soft and round And she doesn't eat as much as All the skinny girls would like to think But then she doesn't bring it up in Someone else's kitchen sink Oh and this world is unfair And this world is so unkind Well if not in its deeds Than at least in her mind She's become the perfect victim Because she never tries So instead of a happy ending Her dreams are pushed aside Almost a heartbeat away from The man she'd love to love And if there were a heaven She'd fit him like a glove But he doesn't notice her beauty So ample and so rare So she figures if your not a rake Then he don't even care Oh and this world is unfair And this world is so unkind Well if not in its deeds Than at least in her mind She's become the perfect victim Because she never tries So instead of a happy ending Her dreams are left behind Almost a million miles from The woman she'd like to be And if she could only lose some weight She knows she'd be happy But she reads the signs that advertise Be a new and thinner me And she wonders if beauty is skin deep Or is it just skinny *(or is it something you feel inside That some people just can't see)*
