Fat Funny Friend

Maddie Zahm

I break the ice so they don't see my size

And I have to be nice

Or I'll be the next punch line

I'm just the best friend in Hollywood movies

Who only exists to continue the story

The girl gets the guy

While I'm standing off screen

So I'll wait for my cue to be comedic relief

Can't be too loud can't be too busy

If I don't answer now

Are they still gonna need me?

Can't be too proud can't think I'm pretty

Do they keep me around

So their flaws just seem silly?

I say I'm okay 'cause they wouldn't care anyway

And I could try to explain

But my efforts in vain they can't relate

To how I've drawn out in Sharpie

Where I'd take the scissors

If that's what it took for me to look in the mirror

Oh I've done every diet to make me look thinner

So why do I still feel so goddamn inferior?

Can't be too loud can't be too busy

If I don't answer now

Are they still gonna need me?

Can't be too proud can't think I'm pretty

Do they keep me around

So their flaws just seem silly?

Life of the fat funny friend

Life of the fat funny friend

It's funny when I think a guy likes me

And it's funny when I'm the one who says

'Let's go to eat'

It's funny when I'm asked to go out on Halloween

Dresses and thigh highs while I hide my body

Can't be too loud and can't be too busy

If I don't answer now

Are they still gonna miss me?

Can't be too loud can't be too busy

If I don't answer now

Are they still gonna need me?

Can't be too proud can't think I'm pretty

Do they keep me around

So their flaws just seem silly?
