lyrics

Please! please! please!
Don't go reaching for that cookie jar.
It's on the highest shelf.
The highest shelf!
I know you couldn't reach that far.
You're gonna damage yourself.
Damaged beyond repair.
But hey now! Hey now! Hey now!
It's like you just don't seem to care.

Yes but I know that you know that we think that you are not feeling alright.
And you know that we think that you are no longer not looking so tight.

And you say:
"It's pulling me down.
This gravity has got me.
Yeah it's getting me down.
Why are you all looking at me so weird?"

"It's pulling me down.
This gravity has got me.
Yeah it's crushing my bones.
My shins are digging into my toes."

And you ask me:
"Why? Oh why?
Oh wh-y-y-y-y-y-y-y?"
Well I know I know I know I know I know just why:

It's because I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel fine.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel great.
There's never anything left on my plate.

Please excuse me I need to go to the ladies' room.
I'm just powdering my nose.
Powdering my nose.
I don't care what you assume.
I'm gonna throw it all up.
Throw it all up.
Throw up my expensive meal.
But hey now! Hey now! Hey now!
I just don't get what's the big deal!

'Cos I know that you know that we think that you are not feeling alright.
And you know that we think that you are no longer not looking so tight.

And you say:
"I'm flying so high!
This gravity ain't got me.
Yeah I'm nearly see through.
Why are you all looking at me so weird?"

"I'm flying so high!
This gravity ain't got me.
You can see my bones.
See them poking out from under my clothes?"

And you ask me:
"Why? Oh why?
Oh wh-y-y-y-y-y-y-y?"
Well I know I know I know I know I know just why:

It's because I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel fine.
Oh I love everybody except when that body is mine.

I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel great.
I don't know what it was,
But it must've been something I ate!

I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel fine.
Oh I love everybody except when that body is mine.

I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
I've got a [Boom-Boom] eating disorder.
And I feel great.
I don't know what it was,
But it must've been something I ate!
Or didn't...
