Once You Lose The Weight, You're Really

That's Where It Begins And Ends For Me And These Songs Were The Ones That Touched Me The Deepest. It Was Like I Was Laying Hold Of Some Part Of Me That I Didn't Even Know Was There Until I Let It Out.

People Always Say 'etta, You Know What Your Problem Is? You're Neither Fish Nor Fowl. There Is No Place To Rack You.' When I Would Go In A Record Shop, You Might Find One Or Two Records By Me In Different Stacks.

My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be Glamorous. When I Thought About That, It Really Fired Me Up, And Once I Lost All Those Pounds, I Started To Feel Really Good About Myself.

The Music Was Thunder And Joy. Lightning Bolts Of Happiness And Praise, Foot-stomping, Dance-shouting, Good-feeling Singing From The Soul.

I Figured I Could Do "it's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" Because I Believe It's The Truth.
