lyrics
I’m glad the world’s delivered us a day
For living life in a brave, wholehearted way
Prepared to share our hopes, our plans, our visions
Prepared to shelve our meaningless ambitions.
For men and women, reconciliation
For every chore there’s glad reciprocation
An eye for figures means respect for art;
The bottom line is somewhere round the heart.
And yes I was proud to be a new age guy
Not afraid to feel, and not afraid to cry
Cause life’s a gift, no matter how you choose it
It’s not what we’ve got that counts, but how we use it ...
But then my illusions were brutally shattered
When I learned the truth about what really mattered:
Size does matter, I thought it didn’t but I was wrong
Size, size, size does matter, and they were lying all along:
How can I dare even look in your eyes,
There’s no hope for me there when what you want is size!
Size, size, size does matter. Size matters!
Size does matter, I thought it didn’t but I was wrong
Size does matter, and they were lying all along:
How can I dare even look in your eyes,
There’s no hope for me there when what you want is size!
Size does matter. Size matters!
So here am I. I’m pleading. On my knees.
I’m feeling limp, but willing still to please.
I may be down, but boldly will I rise!
I’ll care and share, but don’t insist on size.
You can’t understand, it’s a heartbreaking schism
When fortune’s determined by size fascism!
Size does matter, I thought it didn’t but I was wrong
Size, size, size does matter, and they were lying all along:
How can I dare even look in your eyes,
There’s no hope for me there when what you want is size!
Size, size, size does matter. Size matters!
