	Story Behind the Song A friend of mine who will remain anonymous told me this sad but touching story of how she overcame self-consciousness through the use of a tassled-jacket. This is written from her point of view. Lyrics I wish I may, I wish I might On the first star I see tonight God I know I belong on the Northside See the kids over there well they are so cool They got long hair, ripped jeans, and they're breaking rules Like Guns N Roses and Motley Crue And of course there's that 5'8" stud Billy The faint outline of his moustache drives me silly He's in my period 3 Social Studies He signed my yearbook so nice on page 98 I know he'd be mine if I could just lose this weight And then he'd pour some sugar on me I don't really know what that means Like being in middle school wasn't hard enough Having this weight problem is friggin' tough What can I do to make them understand And see me not for my weight, but for who I am See me not for my weight, but for who I am Times were rough then, yeah and times were tight I was wishing on every star of every night One night my mom came in with a surprise She handed me this package I opened it up to a beautiful tassled-jacket I knew with this no longer would I be the plain old fat kid (Not anymore check me out...this jacket has tassles on it) And I've never been so right before It was like see you later fat kid She's here no more If you're looking for me on campus...Head North Cuz I'm a Northsider now Mom always said it was like Dumbo's magic feather With enough confidence you can do whatever It's amazing what a little magic does They saw me not for my weight, but for who I was Saw me not for my weight but for who I was
