Can’t Fight This Feeding

I can’t fight this feeding any longer
And yet I’m still afraid to let it show
What started out as small waist, has grown larger
I only wish they made much bigger burritos

I belt myself but I can’t hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
‘Cause I feel so secure when I’m eating
It gives my gut direction
It makes everything so clear

And even as I hunger
I’m keeping you in sight
You’re like a candy store window
On a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’ve ate more helpings than I ever thought I might!

And I can’t stop this feeding anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started eatin’ for
It’s time to get the chips out of the drawer
And eat a bag or four, forever

‘Cause I can’t stop this feeding anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started eatin’ for
Calories ain’t keeping score,
You’ll say when, and I’ll say pour, forever
’cause baby I can’t stop this feeding anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw food
I’ve been running out of Fritos and pork rinds
And it seems I’m always watching the weight watchers
Cause they’ll take me to the junk food
That alone I’d never find

And even as I hunger
I’m keeping you in sight
You’re like a candy store window
On a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’ve ate more helpings than I ever thought I might!

And I can’t stop this feeding anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started eatin’ for
It’s time to drive my cart into the store
and grab myself some smore’s forever

Cause I can’t fight this feeding anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started eatin’ for
I’m gonna eat this apple to the core
and my mouth can’t be ignored
cause baby, I can’t stop this feeding anymore
