We both liked corn dogs at the start<br />
We once shared pastries from the cart<br />
I know that low cholesterol is good for my heart<br />
But these fights over what to eat are tearin' us apart<br />
When we were young we shared a common tongue<br />
We ate and ate and ate and ate and never gained a bit of weight<br />
But the years have changed our attitudes 'bout what is fit to eat<br />
You've become a lacto-vegetarian and I'm still into red meat<br />

I know you feel that sodium will be the death of me<br />
And caffeine is /poison/...and it's in coffee /and/ in tea<br />
But the birdseed that you'd have me eat would make breakfast a bore<br />
And please don't tape those calorie charts on every cupboard door<br />
We once ate ice cream and french fries<br />
Now you say that every bit of fat goes straight to your thighs<br />
If you would just enjoy food I'd love you at any size<br />
Come share some cake with me, you're still skinny...in my eyes<br />
Our love could overcome this if only we would try<br />
I'd let you be macrobiotic if you'd let me have some pie<br />
I'd even give up bedtime snacks and take up exercise<br />
If you would be more flexible and try to compromise<br />
