I worked out more than they suggest
Targeted biceps, abs and chest
But when I try more the result is less
I'm sore and I need to rest, yes rest

That's how I am, it's my excuse
I've tried to change, but it's no use
I've trained my mind and my soul
But my muscles won't grow, oh no!

That's how I am, with no physique
I want to be strong, but I stay weak
And though I live my life at the gym
I am much too thin, too thin

That's how it is for a teenage geek
Though my muscle growth spurts are at their peak
They never grow, they never spurt
And working out just makes me hurt, I hurt

That's how I am, can't wear BVD's
You'll never see me in muscle T's
I tried to jog but just cough and wheeze
My aching muscles yell please, stop please

That's how I am, can't flaunt my bod
Those football freaks just call me "rod"
In pencil-neck history I am a god
I've been teased so much I'm numb, so glum

That's how I am so it's no use
I've tried carb'ing out with meat and juice
But still my pants fit me much too loose
This battle is over, I'm done, it's won
