Cause and Effect

I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet I'm trying to lose myself You ought to try it Just starve for six days straight Oh, it's a riot Every Sunday night I binge and I barf 'Cause I carry the scars of an eight-year-old Whose mother applied The same rules to a kid's body As her own I think you'll leave me soon Though I've no proof of it But I'll make it easier for you By being a little bitch And this is just the fear But I think the reason Why I'm scared you'll croak is The only male influence I've had After daddy up and left Were my mother's weekend lovers And their alcoholic breaths I'll tell you what caused it If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects) Yes, I'll tell you what caused it If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects) I'll tell you what caused it If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects) Yes, I'll tell you what caused it If you'll handle the effects, ow! I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet (there is a line though) I'm trying to lose myself You ought to try it (though in the draw) Just starve for six days straight Oh, it's a riot (oh-oh) Every Sunday night Cha-cha-cha
