SKINNY & BLONDE
I BETCHA FIVE BUCKS YOU DON’T REMEMBER
THE NIGHT WHEN, THE NIGHT WHEN
I CAME HOME CRYING AFTER MY LATE SHIFT
AND TOO MUCH BOURBON, TOO MUCH BOURBON
I SAID “I’M SICK OF SERIVING BEER AND ONION RINGS”
I SAID “I THINK IT’S CLEAR I’M MEANT FOR BIGGER THINGS”
I SAID “I’M HITTING THE FAST LANE, FORGETTING THE BREAKS”
SAID “I’M A DO-OOH, I’M A DO-OOH WHATEVER IT TAKES”
YOU LOOKED ME UP, YOU LOOKED ME DOWN, YOU KNEW THE TRICKS I’D TRY
YOU LOOKED ME UP, YOU LOOKED ME DOWN, YOU LOOKED ME DEAD IN THE EYE
AND YOU SAID:
“DON’T GO GETTING ALL SKINNY AND BLONDE, BABY
I KNOW THINGS SEEM OUTTA REACH
SO LIFE AIN’T GOING YOUR WAY LATELY
BUT TALENT ISN’T BONES AND BLEACH
AND IT AIN’T NO MAGIC WAND
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE”
WISH I COULD TELL YOU FOLKS DIDN’T NOTICE
AS THINGS GOT LIGHTER, THINGS GOT LIGHTER
BUT WE BOTH WATCHED A ONCE-IN-A-WHILE GIG
BECOME AN EV’RY-DAMN-NIGHTER
AND ANY TIME I HAD TO TALK ABOUT MY WEIGHT
I’D ALWAYS LIE AND SAY, “OH YEAH! IT’S GOING GREAT!”
I’D TOUCH MY HAIR AND SMILE, TALK ABOUT MY BRAND
THEN TURN AWAY AND WATCH IT FALL-HEY INTO MY HAND Ooh
I THINK ABOUT THAT NIGHT AND FEELING DESPERATE
I THINK ABOUT THAT NIGHT AND WHY I CAN’T FORGET
WHEN YOU SAID:
“DON’T GO GETTING ALL SKINNY AND BLONDE, BABY
I KNOW THINGS SEEM OUTTA REACH
SO LIFE AIN’T GOING YOUR WAY LATELY
BUT TALENT ISN’T BONES AND BLEACH
AND IT AIN’T NO MAGIC WAND
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE SKINNY AND BLONDE
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE SKINNY AND BLONDE
BEING SKINNY AND-“
TWO EASY WORDS, BEEN FIGHTIN’ ‘EM
I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
HEADS THAT TURN ‘ROUND TURN BACK AGAIN
I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
I SHOULDA WALKED AND SKIPPED THE RUN
FIN'LY CAN SAY "SCREW EVERYONE"
I’M COMING DOWN…
I BETCHA FIVE BUCKS YOU DON’T REMEMBER
THE NIGHT WHEN, THE NIGHT WHEN
YOU SAID:
“DON’T GO GETTING ALL SKINNY AND BLONDE, BABY
I KNOW THINGS SEEM OUTTA REACH
SO LIFE AIN’T GOING YOUR WAY LATELY
BUT TALENT ISN’T BONES AND BLEACH
AND IT AIN’T NO MAGIC WAND
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE. I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
BEING SKINNY AND BLONDE I’M COMING DOWN FROM PLATINUM
