Once You Lose The Weight, You're Really

When I'm Performing For The People, I Am Me, Then. I Am That Little Girl Who, When She Was Five Years Old, Used To Sing At Church. Or I'm That 15-year-old Young Lady Who Wanted To Be Grown And Wanted To Sing And Couldn't Wait To Be Smokin' A Cigarette, You Know?

I'm Not A Bourgeois Person, Never Will Be.

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

See, I Don't Like Places Where People Can't Dance - Don't Like Clubs Or Theatres Where A Bunch Of Bourgeois People Sit Around Tip, Tip, Tipping Their Fingers.

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.
