Fat Rolling Beauty



I am fat and I love who I am.
I am fat and I love who I am.
This skin stretches but so what.
This skin stretches but so what.
Fat I am and this I love - stretches
So what, who am I but skin.

My stomach is huge but I say yes.
My stomach is huge but I say yes.
Like me for being me.
Like me for being me.
Huge is my stomach, I say yes,
But like me for being me.

With a shiver of rolling beauty, I dance.
With a shiver of rolling beauty, I dance.
Smile when you see my face.
Smile when you see my face.
Rolling smiles of beauty, with a dance.
I shiver when you see my face.

I am a fat shiver and I love this skin
My stretches like me - huge,
beauty is rolling, I dance with who I am,
My stomach. But so what.
Smile I say - for being me
But when you see my face, yes.
