Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Baby, don't be afraid
'Cause afraid is just an emotion
A harmless little feeling
So don't be afraid
Baby, don't turn around
'Cause everybody is laughing
Pointing their little fingers
So don't turn around
You've got to look your best
Or they're gonna criticize you
That might make you scared
But you can't be afraid
I can't believe how fat
You've become over the winter
You look like a bloated whale
But don't be afraid
You were born from a loving place
Smiles on faces above
Painting fences on the greenest lawn
Dog licks peanuts and checkers
So, baby, don't look so sad
'Cause somebody's become your master
Just do exactly what he says
And you'll be okay
I wouldn't take off my towel
When lounging around by the poolside
Someone might see your thighs
And think you're big
Just practice a selfless mind
And preserve your inner nature
Take off your bathing suit
And let your journey begin
Feel your skin and pleasure yourself
Love is a natural cure
Peel a green by willow tree
Cat [lip?] marble and honeybee
