Was thinking how it would be if I could change the lyrics a little, of the song 'I'm not a Girl, Not yet a Woman', by BS, so that I could use it to describe my current state of being in between fat and fit. So here goes:
I used to think I had the answers to everything
But now I know
That life doesn't always go my way yeah
Feels like I've bloat in my middle
That's when I realize
I'm not fit, not yet fat
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not fit
There is no need to protect me
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than you know now
So don't tell me to loosen my belt
I'm not fit, not yet fat
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not fit
But if you look at me closely
You will see it in my body
This flab will always find its way
(I'm not fit) I'm not fit, don't tell me what to believe
(Not yet fat) I'm just trying to find the flab in me, yeah
(All I need is time) Oh, all I need is time
(A moment that is mine) That's mine
While I'm in between
I'm not fit, not yet fat, no no
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not fit, ooh
Not yet fat
Ok, I tried to sing that with a tune and failed. Guess my doctored lyrics don't lend themselves to anything closely resembling a tune. But then so what? An exercise in futility is an exercise in futility whether or not you can sing about it, right?!?!?
PS: For those of you who didn't know or who thought otherwise, BS is Britney Spears!!
