Let it go? (pastry edition)

The snacks shine bright in the bakery tonight—
Not a carrot to be seen.
A kingdom of sweet temptation
And it looks like I’m the Queen.

My tummy’s filled with choice delectables inside
Couldn’t help myself—heaven knows I tried.

Don’t take it all; just leave some be
Be the good girl for everyone to see.
Conceal your meals; don’t let them know
That you’ve let go!

Does it show? Does it show?
Can’t hold my gut in any more.
Does it show? Does it show?
Can I fit in a size four?
I don’t care what they’re going to say—
Bring the ice cream on:
The cold never bothered me anyway.

It’s funny how those calories
Are packed in treats so small:
Like the fat and all the sugar
In a single truffle ball.

It’s time to see what I can do
To skip dessert and seconds too.
No ifs, no buts, just rules for me:
Fat-free!

Does it show? Does it show?
I have given up curly fries.
Does it show? Does it show?
Farewell to mincemeat pies!
Here I stand on the scale today:
Let the dial spin ’round...

But a McFlurry sends my will into the ground.
My hunger pangs are causing dizzy spells when food’s around.
And one thought crystallizes like a frozen treat:
I’m never giving up my chocolate-covered sweets!

Does it show? Does it show?
My weight’s rising like the break of dawn.
Does it show? Does it show?
My perfect figure’s gone!
Here I stand eating my parfait;
Bring the ice cream on:
The cold never bothered me anyway.
