I want to sing my way into being a skinny minny
I have this pair of jeans in my closet in the section my husband refers to as my ‘aspirational wardrobe.’ I really did wake up one morning in May of this year, hit a new high on my bathroom scale, and vowed that I would get back into those skinny jeans. And guess what? I did it!!
From the moment that I saw you, hangin’ out at the mall
I had to own you, your rhinestones and all
you didn’t come cheap, but somehow I knew
that whatever the cost, it was worth having you
For years we were together, every Saturday night,
we’d go out dancin’, you’d hold me in tight,
but you were unforgiving and you wouldn’t let me grow
Now I can’t put you on — but I can’t let you go
skinny jeans, skinny jeans, you’re still hanging ‘round
In the back of my closet and that’s bringin’ me down
this morning, I woke up, and made me a vow
skinny jeans, gonna get back, into you somehow
some things got between us, and now you’re too tight
but I know it’s all my fault, and I’m gonna make it right
no it won’t be easy, but it’s not too late
just put my mind to it, and I’m gonna look, gonna gonna look great
skinny jeans, skinny jeans, you’re stilll hanging ‘round
In the back of my closet and that’s bringin’ me down
this morning, I woke up, and made me a vow
skinny jeans, gonna get back, into you somehow
For months now, I’ve worked hard, until, yesterday
I went to the closet, and pushed those ‘fat clothes’ away
I grabbed you — and I can’t believe how it felt,
to pull the zipper up, and buckle my belt!
Skinny jeans, skinny jeans, glad I kept you around
‘cause tonight, my darlin’s, we’re goin out on the town
I worked my butt off, now you fit me just right
so I’m wearin’ my skinny jeans to the party tonight
