Meat

By M. Jay Mansfield

I’m tired of women that look like little boys
Vogue and Glamour what are you doing to our world…
You’ve got them puking in the bathrooms
Scared to gain an ounce
I’m scared to hold her it feels like broken glass

Is it too much to ask
I just want a little meat on the bone
Not one of Michaels little boys
I want a woman full grown
Is it too much to ask
I want a little meat on the bones…

Third world kids sending donations to her house
Kids in India sending her their rice
Homeless people in the street
Worried about her weight

Walking smiling corpse
She smiles at me and starts to wink
I cringe and try to hide
Only one thing I can think

Is it too much to ask
I just want a little meat on the bone
Not one of Michaels little boys
I want a woman full grown
Is it too much to ask I want a little meat on the bones…

Since when did looking like a boy
Become the new in thing
Why can’t we go back to women
Like Marilyn and Jayne

I just want a little meat on the bone
A woman with curves
Is that too much to ask?
A woman to love

Is it too much to ask
I just want a little meat on the bone
Not one of Michaels little boys
I want a woman full grown
Is it too much to ask
I want a little meat on the bones…
