Look at me I'm skiing, when I do not like skiing
But he loves skiing, and I love him
I rent the boots and poles, I shiver in the cold
I'm charging down the mountain, risking life and limb
There's no exhilaration, I am only feeling terrified
Everyone around me's having such a great time
I do not like skiing, but look at me I'm skiing
It's a good thing he can't read my mind.
Yes, exhilarating is just the very word I was thinking of.
Scared of heights? Oh no, not me.

I am eating sushi, when I do not like sushi
But he loves sushi, and I love him
I'm poking with a chopstick at a living breathing fishstick
Oh my God! I think it's trying to swim
Some say eating sushi is like chewing on your own cheek
Or sucking down a bucketful of tentacled slime
I do not like sushi, but look I'm eating sushi
It's a good thing he can't read my mind.
Yes, this is a very interesting texture. What is it? Ohhhhh....
So if you see me in the sushi bar, see me in the mezzanine
See me on a ski slope, looking scared
Hey don't feel sorry for me: I must be in love
Why in the hell else would I be there?
Before I met him life was dull, I never took any chances
Now I leap at every opportunity I find
I do not like sushi, I do not like skiing or the opera
But maybe I will in time. Maybe I will in time
Seconds? Sure I'd love some. Mmmmmmm, yum!
