Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's a perfect ten, but she wears a twelve

Baby, keep a little two for me

She could be sweet sixteen, bustin' out at the seams

It's still love in the first degree

[Verse 2]

When he's at my gate, with a big fat eight

You wanna see the smile on my face

And even at my door, with a poor poor four

There ain't no man can replace

[Verse 3]

Cause we love our love in different sizes

I love her body, especially the lies

Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes

Promise me this, take me tonight

[Verse 4]

If he's extra large, well I'm in charge

I can work this thing on top

If he's XXL, well what the hell

Every penny don't fit the slot

[Verse 5]

Ah, the anorexic chicks, the model six

They don't hold no weight with me

Well, eight or nine, well that's just fine

But I like to hold something I can see

[Verse 6]

Cause we love our love in different sizes

I love her body, especially the lies

Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes

Promise me this, take me tonight

[Verse 7]

I've bought a watch to time your beauty

But I've had to fit a second hand

I've bought a calendar, and every month

Is taken up by lover man

[Verse 8]

Cause we love our love in different sizes

I love her body, especially the lies

Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes

Promise me this, take me tonight

[Verse 9]

Cause we love our love in different sizes

I love her body, especially the lies

Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes

Promise me this, take me tonight
