Eat Your Feelings Away

Song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

Structure:  The accents points align for all 4 verses

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance!

CHORUS

Eat your feelings

Eat them all away

If having trouble dealing

Try the combo or buffet

When the anxiety mounts

Ignore the calorie counts

And eat your feelings away.

VERSE 1

I can tell by your frown

This life’s got you down

Outta work or lonely town?

Seems your life is swirlin’ round?

It’s time to dry the tears of a clown.

CHORUS

Eat your feelings

Eat them all away

If having trouble dealing

Try the combo or buffet

When the anxiety mounts

Ignore the calorie counts

And eat your feelings away.

VERSE 2

Do the mac and cheese thing

That’ll make your tastebuds sing

No doubt ice cream is the king

Yeah, they call it com-fort food.

Because it does so much for your mood.

CHORUS

Eat your feelings

Eat them all away

If having trouble dealing

Try the combo or buffet

When the anxiety mounts

Ignore the calorie counts

And eat your feelings away.

BRIDGE

I know how much it hurts

But you gotta stop the crying.

Think of all the rich deserts

That are out there for the buying.

So instead of asking:

"Won't you tell me, why, oh why?"

It’s time you started basking

In the smell of sweet apple pie.

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

VERSE 3

I’m not here to chastise.

But you’re out of alibis

Gonna help your spirits rise.

Let’s get out and exercise

For starters just say no to the fries…Nawwwww,

CHORUS

Eat your feelings

Eat them all away

If having trouble dealing

Try the combo or buffet

When the anxiety mounts

Ignore the calorie counts

And eat your feelings away.

VERSE 4  (Very, very optional)

Try the Golden Stock-Yard               [Note:  aka The Golden Corral]

Cannot go, cause you’re barred?!?

Thought it had to be a gag.

When they nixed the doggie bag

Had to be shown the door by a guard.

CHORUS

Eat your feelings

Eat them all away

If having trouble dealing

Try the combo or buffet

When the anxiety mounts

Ignore the calorie counts

And eat your feelings away.

The End.
