Lyrics
Oh, I'm not fat, and I'm not tall
I'm not a girl with skinny legs at all
But you like them boss, you like them proud
Then I'm the girl who's gonna shout out loud
I'm so true, I got a mother for you, popcorn
I remember a time when you were all alone
You had your thing together, that secret made you warm
So I would raise my mother, take a lot of time and pain
And make sure you never, never, never have to look again
What I said was true, you see
I've got a mother for you
But you see, but you see
But you see, you've always been close to me
When I wanna see you, I phone, never send a letter
Sometimes I wanna call you father, but something else is better
So go on and do the Camel Walk and that bad popcorn
And this mother, I'll stay a secret, and you'll still be alone
Be alone, you'll be alone
You'll be alone, baby, nobody but you
Oh, you'll be alone
Oh, I'm not fat, and I'm not tall
I'm not a girl with skinny legs at all
But if you like them boss, baby, you like them proud
Then I'm the girl who's gonna shout way out loud
I'm so true, I got a mother for you, popcorn
I remember a time when you were all alone
You had your thing together, and that secret made you gone
So I would raise my mother, take a lot of time and pain
And make sure you never, baby, you'll never have to look again
What I said was true, you see
Oh, I've got a mother for you
But you see, but you see
But you see, you've always been close to me
When I wanna see you, I phone, never send a letter
Sometimes I wanna call you father, but something else is better
So go on and do the Camel Walk and that bad popcorn
And this mother will stay a secret, and you'll still be alone
You'll be alone, oh, you'll be alone
Nobody but you, you'll be alone
Can you hear me say it? Oh, oh-oh
Oh, you'll be alone, baby, you'll be alone
I remain that secret, and no one else will know
