I`m building my body
I`m happy when I`m building my body
I`m tired of fighting, let`s make friends
I`m tired of burning both ends
That`s why I`m building my body
It hurts me but I`m building my body
And I know what the pain is worth
I know I feel the pain of birth
I`m pushin` up
And gettin` down with my body
There`s no-one else around with my body
One look says I`m a stone disgrace
Don`t kick no sand in my face
Because I`m building my body strong
I`m watching what I eat
And I`m sorting out right from wrong
Hey, not a lot of meat
And I know that it won`t be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
Because I`m building my body
I`m peaceful when I`m building my body
I`m sweating out mistakes I`ve made
I`m getting back the dues I`ve paid
I`m doing more
And getting sore with my body
But I`m gaining a rapport with my body
And this seems like the perfect time
They say I`m in my prime
That`s why I`m building my body strong
I`m thinking at the table
And I`m sorting out right from wrong
I`m reading every label
And I know that it won`t be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
`Cause I`m building my body
There`s someone else inside of my body
He`s waiting to be born again
