May 2012
You rolled your eyes
waited for us to be duly impressed
Pretended to be beside yourself
I wanted to slap you, but held back for my own health

We all smiled and compliments went around
And fishing for compliments, those you found
And everyone noticed you're looking nice and thin
But with me, you can't win

As you dump your work on me
It's clear you'd rather be somewhere else
Than at your job, giving help
that you're supposed to do
But gotta make it to the gym real fast, don't you?

I should have said, Oh, my God!
You can't let him get away with that fraud
Imagine him, knowing you a month
I'm sure he's played this trick more than once
He's probably with another girl right now
Dump him now, don't be proud

But instead I just sit there burning inside
When you say "I'm so fat" I should say yes you are
Look at your thighs!
You're really letting yourself go
And I didn't want to say anything, but now you know
You should really watch it,
The older you get the more fat won't quit
So worry, girl, and dump that guy
That's what I wanted to say, but instead, I lied.
