I’m Sorry, Gloria Gaynor

When I got on the scale,
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I would go through my life
Being extra wide.
After spending so many nights
Eating so incredibly wrong,
I grew strong.
I knew I wasn’t too far gone.
So now I’m back
From my bad place.
I just walked for three kilometers
(I’m preparing for a 5K race).
I should have never gone off track.
I should have started ten years back.
If I had known for just one second
I’d be back to my old weight.

I’m going out, walking out the door.
Heading to the gym now.
I’m not a tree sloth anymore.
I was the one who tried to hurt me with my weight.
I turned it all around,
And now I’m feeling pretty great.
Oh yes, yes, I
I will arrive.
As long as I have goals to reach,
I know that I will thrive.
All I’ve got is what I’ll give,
Cuz I've got all my life to live.
And I'll arrive
I will arrive.

It takes all the strength I have
Not to lose my way.
To keep my focus on the job
I’ve got to do today.
I once spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry,
Now I hold my head up high.
And you see me,
Somebody new.
I’m not that stupid lazy fatass,
That didn’t have a clue.
And so I worked and dropped that weight,
I just wanted to be free.
Now I'm saving my own life.
Yes, I’m doing this for me.

Go on, now go–
Walk out the door.
Let’s turn it around now.
It’s time to lose some weight galore.
Weren't you the one who’s tried to tell those pounds goodbye?
Let’s make them crumble
Good habits we’ll apply.
Just you and I.

We will arrive.
As long as we have goals to reach,
I know that we will thrive.
All we’ve got is what we’ll give,
Cuz we’ve got all our lives to live,
And we'll arrive.
We will arrive, oh.

So here we go,
We’re on our way.
We’re turned it around now,
We’re gonna do it without delay.
Aren’t you the one who’s got a great big thigh?
But we won’t crumble.
Let’s just tell that fat goodbye.
Just you and I.

We will arrive.
As long as we have goals to reach,
I know that we will thrive.
All we’ve got is what we’ll give,
Cuz we've got all our life to live,
And we’ll arrive.
We will arrive, oh.
