Before you begin it all, you stand on me
making a note of what I display, you make a silent plea
Oh god, please help me convince the scale
help me pass in this exam coz on my own I'll fail
You run, sweat, sacrifice your sweets
you start avoiding friend's treats
You watch everything that goes into you
You eat only things that on trees grew
You sweat every day and night, hoping to please me
I do not budge, you have not done enough for me
You look at the chocolates and then at me, resting on the throne
How you wish you could force me to show some good news
You cry in anguish and pain
you think it was all in vain
A little more sweat, a little less food
and you would have been all good
I will oblige when you stand on me once again
And I will tell you, it was worth the pain.
