Why am I so fat? Do you really want to know? Do you have the time to listen? Ok, here I go.

These thighs right here, They are from all the chocolate cake, my dear. This big booty you see, Is from all of the ice cream That was soooo good to me.

This big belly you see, It came from you not loving me. My feet are even bigger, Fat does not discriminate. They are fat from eating bags of chips, The nights I needed a date.

These hips, oh these hips of mine, Some men think big hips are fine.
They came from eating when I was not even hungry. Just wanted some of your time.

Are you still listening? It is not the end. These love handles, Pizza is my friend. When I can not talk to you, My mouth needs something else to do.

Now, let us weigh it out, see who is to blame. The blame seems to fall the same.

That is why I am fat. Thanks to me, and you. But fat girls need loving too.
