He said I was up around three-forty with a lot of food before me
and a moment came that knocked me in the eye
I spent most of the next day eatin' at a buffet
talking 'bout the toppins I could have on my sweet pie
I asked him when it sank in if he might really hafta get thin
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do?

I went bike ridin'
I went aerobic exercizin'
I went one last time for seconds at the BullMoose Bar-B-Que
I could breath deeper and I could shop cheaper and I faced the truth that I'd been denying
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to eat like you ain't dietin'

He said I was finally the healthnut that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend to Jared the Subway man
And my sudden indigestion, from my midnight indiscretion
had me up three time that night just feelin' bad


Well I finally read a Cook Book and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could see my feet again...

I went bike ridin'
I went arobic exercizin'
I quit goin' back for seconds at the BullMoose Bar-B-Que
I could breath deeper, and I could bend deeper and I could put on my own shoes AND do the tyin'
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to eat like you ain't dietin'
Like tofu was a food and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it
What could you do with it
What should you do with it
What would YOU do with it?

Biiiiiiiiiike ridin'
I went arobic exercizin'
I dreamed about goin' back for seconds at the BullMoose Bar-B-Que
And I breathed deeper and I used artifical sweetner as I watched a donut while it was fryin'
and I said some day I hope I get the chance to eat like I ain't dietin'
eat like I ain't dietin'
eat like I ain't dietin'
eat like I ain't dietin'
eat like I ain't dietin'
