Someone's Been Working Out

Prompt: Heart-shaped image created by symmetrical reflection of leaf and stem floating on water.

My interpretation: seeing something that others may not; or seeing something that's not really there!

So, basically, this song focuses on some goofball who decided to hit the gym a while back in hopes of becoming more popular with the babes. Unfotunately, his interpretation of the image he sees in the mirror must be a bit skewed, because - so far, at least - he's not exactly a "babe magnet."

Someone's Been Working Out

(Sung to the tune of "Something to Talk About" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ58TVYNFro&ob=av2n by Bonnie Raitt)

People are gawkin', gawkin' at me - yeah.
I hear them whisper, they don't believe it.
There's no disputin' - they like my glutens.
Try to ignore it, but they keep saying I...
flex 'til I draw a crowd,
do squats 'til it starts to look gross,
stare at the mirror too long,
Maybe they're seein' just how hot I am, darlin'.

I give 'em somethin' to gawk about
(Somethin' to gawk about)
I give 'em somethin' to gawk about
(Somethin' to gawk about)
I give 'em somethin' to gawk about
Meet me in the hot tuuuuuuuuuuub...

You should feel foolish, said you never noticed.
With my great pecs, shouldn't you be starin' at me?
It took my humor to gloss over your blunder,
I'll bet my skimpy pink thong sent you asunder!
Pumping iron every day,
Tanning booth every night.
I sure hope to God you're not gaaaaaaaaaaaaay,
So that the world will know it, why don't you show it darlin'?

I give 'em somethin' to gawk about
(Somethin' to gawk about)
My workout history leaves little doubt
(Leaves little doubt)
I give 'em somethin' to gawk about
How about a back ruuuuuuuuub?

Want to join me in working out, babe?
What do you mean by, "You creep me out?"
Don't tell me now that you're backing out,
Check out these abs. Ooh...

Wait! I know we can talk this out
(Something to gawk about)
You can pump iron with me
(Something to gawk about)

What do you mean by, "I prefer skinny guys, babe?"
I thought we had love, love, looooooooove...
