Fat Babies
Embracing Imperfections: Finding Harmony in Lyle Lovett's 'Fat Babies'
Lyrics
said I don't like hippies
Expressing dislike for hippies
And I don't like cornbread
Expressing dislike for cornbread
And I don't like much
Overall dislike for many things
I said I don't hippies
Reiteration of dislike for hippies
And I don't like cornbread
Reiteration of dislike for cornbread
And I don't like much
Reiteration of overall dislike for many things
But that's okay
Acceptance of the dislikes
Fat babies have no pride
Commenting on the lack of pride in fat babies
Fat babies have no pride
-Fat babies have no pride
-And that's okay
Acceptance of the lack of pride in fat babies
Who needs pride
Rhetorical question questioning the necessity of pride
I like you
Expressing liking someone who shares similar dislikes
Cause you like me
-And you don't like much
-I like you
-Cause you like me
-And you don't like much
-And that's okay
Acceptance of the shared dislikes
Cause fat babies have no pride
Reiterating the lack of pride in fat babies
Fat babies have no pride
-Fat babies have no pride
-And that's okay
Acceptance of the lack of pride in fat babies
Who needs pride
Rhetorical question questioning the necessity of pride
Fat babies make me sick
Expressing disgust toward fat babies and their characteristics
Fat babies make me ill
-All that fat baby drooling
-And that fat baby smell
-I said I don't like hippies
Reiteration of dislikes for hippies, cornbread, and many things
And I don't like cornbread
-And I don't like much
-But I like you
Expressing liking someone who shares similar dislikes
Cause you like me
-And you don't like much
-And that's okay
Acceptance of the shared dislikes
Cause fat babies have no pride
Reiterating the lack of pride in fat babies
Fat babies have no pride
-Fat babies have no pride
-And that's okay
Acceptance of the lack of pride in fat babies
Who needs pride anyway
Rhetorical question questioning the necessity of pride
