Pride

(Robert Palmer)

You want her attention
Well you’ll have to wait
She’s in the gymnasium
Reducing weight
In shorts or a leotard
Despite her age
The girl’s gonna exercise
Your life away

Sister don’t you jog it all away
Sister don’t you run it all off
Sister don’t you jog it all away
Sister don’t you rough it all up

What an idea of fun
To get it on the run
I don’t know why you do
What has come over you?

The style in the discotheque
Is cheap and nice
Please tell Ms Fonda
To reduce her price
Anorexia nervosa
Mannequin
All this physicality
Will wear you thin
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?

She used to yield like flesh
Now it’s all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it’s all muscle

I don’t know why you do
What has come over you?
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run

Rollerskates and vitamins
And diet plans
Academic discipline
Will ruin your hands
We used to ride tandem
And have lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise
Are made for one

She used to yield like flesh
Now it’s all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it’s all muscle

I don’t know what to do
What has come over you?
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run

Sister don’t you jog it all away
Sister don’t you run it all off
Sister don’t you jog it all away
Sister don’t you rough it all up
