Once upon a time, I had a crazy fling
And let me tell you, babe, you gave me quite a turn
You took your sweet affection in reverse direction
And showed me new ways to yearn
Almost drove me crazy when you left me
The work to get you back, it was a hefty
Kept you for a week or two of peekaboo
Came to my senses and broke up with you

But I saw you the other day
Been doing squats the wrong way
I can't approve the new rig
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better when your butt was big

Better when your butt was big

You’re quite demurring when you smile
Turn the back of your affection on the little guy
And when a classic beauty like the girl-next-door
Goes to the nickel store, who am I to question why?
Predictably, she deigns complaint
With the quaintness of the merchandise
And sends him ringing hands through lonely lands
To ask his worried friends' advice

But I saw you the other day
Been doing squats the wrong way
I can't approve the new rig
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better
Better when your butt was big
Better when your butt was big

You’re quite demurring when you smile
Turn the back of your affection on the little guy
And when a classic beauty like the girl-next-door
Goes to the nickel store, who am I to question why?
Predictably she deigns complaint
With the quaintness of the merchandise
And sends him ringing hands through lonely lands
To ask his worried friends' advice

But I saw you the other day
Been doing squats the wrong way
I can't approve the new rig
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better when your butt was big
I liked you better when your butt was big

I liked you better
Better when your butt was big
Better when your butt was big
