She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12
Baby keep a little 2 for me
She could be sweet 16, bustin' out at the seams
It's still love in the first degree

When he's at my gate, with a big fat 8
You want to see the smile on my face
And even at my door, with a poor poor 4
There ain't no man can replace

'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

If he's extra large well I'm in charge
I can work this thing on top
If he's XXL well what the hell
Every penny don't fit the slot

The anorexic chicks, the model 6
They don't hold no weight with me
Well 8 or 9, well that's just fine
But I like to hold something I can see

'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

I've bought a watch, to time your beauty
But I've had to fit a second hand
I've bought a calendar, and every month
Is taken up by lover man

'Cause we love our love,
in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

'Cause we love our love, in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

    I'm not a native english speaker and wonder, what the hell are things like "a perfect 10" or "she wears a 12"? Has it a real meaning or is it just nonsense?

    Uh- size 12 is not "worn my fat people", I'm hastened to add! It's smaller than the British average which is a 16..

    I think it means she's a perfect size 10, but she wears a size 12 so there's "a little two" left over, space for him to get his hands inside her clothes perhaps. And a size 12 is not fat, "73" you may be thinking of an American size 12 which is a lot bigger than the British size 12 (the band is British) that they are singing about. A size 12 is often regarded as a highly sought after figure.

    Perfect 10 = on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 people terribly ugly and 10 being ridiculously gorgeous, she's a 10. Wears a 12 = size 12 is a clothing size worn by fat people.
