I don’t like it, don’t like it hanging out in front
I gotta say it’s givin me the shits, pardon me for being so blunt
It wasn’t there a while ago don’t know from where it came
But I don’t like it so very bad I can hardly say its name

Don’t want it don’t want it and it’s clear I’m not alone
I see some folks who had it since before they were even grown
They seem to get on with their lives and I guess they seem ok
But I don’t like and don’t want it – that’s all I’ve got to say

Chorus 1:​

I never look down ‘cuz
It’s hard to miss
I can’t believe
That it’s come to this
It came on slow
So I didn’t know
It was happening to me
Until one day in a mirror I saw what everybody else could see

Verse 2:​

I’ve been alive a lot more years that I’ ve got years left to live
I’ve been doing pretty good with learning to forgive
Myself for things I did or didn’t do and places I’ve never been
But I find it hard to forget that I was once young, fit and thin

For me it front and centre for some its back and low
And others carry it anywhere, everywhere they go
But they tell me that this belly fat is no good for my heart
Since I want to live a few more years I guess I’d better start
Some sort of exercise and diet – It seems a cruel plot
But as card carrying human being I suppose that’s my lot

Chorus 2:​

I never look down ‘cuz
It’s hard to miss
I can’t believe
That it’s come to this
It came on slow
So I didn’t know
That I was not immune
Maybe now that’s who I am and hence this tragic tune
