This song is all about a man who thinks his wife is shy in bed because she's gained weight over the years. She sets him straight on the real reason she prefers to turn out the lights.

lyrics
Here are the lyrics:
That gal of mine she's really great,
But she's gained a little weight.
I look at her and she's second to none,
But ten kids in ten years will change anyone.
She used to wear lingerie,
But now she says that's too risque.
Beneath all the years she's still my pretty mama,
But now she goes to bed in her baggy old pajamas.
If you see her on the street,
You might think she's heavy,
But don't ever call her fat.
'Cause she looks slimmer,
When the lights go dimmer,
And I know she likes it like that.
When I snuggle up she gets kind of shy,
And she says why don't we turn out the lights.
I'm too old to play peekaboo,
But a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
We crawl under the covers,
And that's just when I discover.
A problem with no antidote,
She's wearing a bathrobe with her housecoat.
Repeat chorus
One night she whispered in my ear,
You've had a few too many beers.
She pointed to me and said quite sincerely,
Those pounds have added up,
And they've added up yearly.
We joined a therapy class.
I never got a hall pass.
She raised her hand and spoke without doubt,
If you don't like what you see
You just turn the lights out.
Repeat chorus.
