  • Why didn't you tell me that
    I got fat?
    It's so easy I could see it now looking back
    As I empty one more round of smiling photographs

    So many things you never mentioned to me
    You didn't think I could listen
    Do I come across so weak?
    I guess sometimes I am

    Now you're so gone
    Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song
    Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

    I watched a patch of morning light
    As it crept across the bed and it reached your sleepy eyes
    And in that time, I'd forgotten why
    I couldn't tell you why I was mad
    So I held it in and you kept it back
    Every picture that I click
    And drag
    It's obvious

    Now we're so gone
    Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song
    Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

    I know, sometimes you try to talk to me
    And I make a joke of it
    I do that sometimes
    I know it's gonna hurt

    Why didn't you tell me that I got fat?
    Now I'm crying all the way from the photomat
    'Cause I see I got more chins than
    A Chinese phone book has

    Now you're so gone
    Oh, I don't need a yes man and a song
    Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it?

    Oh, why didn't you tell me 'bout it? Writer/s: Benjamin Folds, Rob Moose
