Baby Fat

from MEL by Kitchen Sink

/

lyrics

She's about to become teen thinking about boys discovering what puberty means but she doesn't feel pretty

All the compliments her parents give her never seem to reach her ears
All she sees is baby fat, I thought it went away she asks

Summer heat 75 degrees always in long sleeves
Her friends look and wonder what is she hiding, but really she's searching
Searching for dignity and grace and poise and all the other things that make all the other girls so pretty

Why can't it be me daddy
She asks her father innocently
He brushes her hair back and kisses her forehead you're a pretty as any of them
An hour later he sneaks back in and the glow of the night light turns everything green why can't they see what I see
Stares into her eyes and convinces himself
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
She's the only thing I'll ever need
