The lyrics mix humor with the universal struggle of resisting temptation.
Cita citanya kurusHer dream is to be thin,
Hobinya makan terusbut her hobby is eating constantly.
Setiap ngajak jalanEvery time she asks to go out,
Pasti urusan makanit’s always about finding something to eat.
Selalu pengen tirusShe always wants a slim face,
Sukanya ngunyah terusbut she loves to keep on snacking.
Setiap berfantasiEvery time she has a fantasy,
Pakai nasiit always involves a side of rice.
Kucoba tuk melawanI try my best to resist,
Hasrat untuk ikutanthe burning desire to join in.
Kucari pengalihanI look for a distraction,
Tak temukan jawabanbut I can’t find a single solution.
Kulari di senayanI went for a run at the Senayan sports complex,
Lalu bertemu temanand then I bumped into a friend.
Diluar dugaanUnexpectedly,
Dia malah ngajak makanthey invited me to go eat instead.
Cita citanya kurus ( cita – citanya kurus )Her dream is to be thin (her dream is to be thin),
Hobinya makan terus ( Hobinya maka terus )but her hobby is eating constantly (her hobby is eating constantly).

Selalu pengen tirus ( selalu pengen tirus )She always wants a slim face (she always wants a slim face),
Sukanya ngunyah terus (sukanya ngunyah terus)but she loves to keep on snacking (she loves to keep on snacking).
Setiap berfantasiEvery time she has a fantasy,
Pakai nasiit always involves a side of rice.
Kucoba tuk melawanI try my best to resist,
