The Lyrics
Jenny Jenny, it's you that I turn to
I got too much of what you hold on to
I know you want my picture of my body before
who saw you and were shaped like a ball
jenny I got your number
I need to lose you see
jenny I need to diet
867-d-i-e-t
867-d-i-e-t
jenny jenny, got a program for me?
I don't know why this food makes me happy
I tried to call you before
but I had dessert
I tried meditation
and yoga just hurt
jenny I got your number
I need to lose you see
jenny don't change your number
867-d-i-e-t
867-d-i-e-t
I got it I got it I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it I got it I got it
if you look like a ball
jenny don't change your number
I need to lose you see
jenny oh will you help me?
867-d-i-e-t-
867-d-i-e-t
I got too much of what you hold on to
I know you want my picture of my body before
who saw you and were shaped like a ball
jenny I got your number
I need to lose you see
jenny I need to diet
867-d-i-e-t
867-d-i-e-t
jenny jenny, got a program for me?
I don't know why this food makes me happy
I tried to call you before
but I had dessert
I tried meditation
and yoga just hurt
