lyrics
I Ain't Gonna Do It Today
Words and music: Michael Waid
The lawn needs doin’
The boards are bare
The floor needs sweeping
and the neighbors stare
The list is endless of chores and repairs
but I ain’t gonna do it today
I said I ain’t
I ain’t gonna do it today
The bills have all come in
but they’ll have to wait
The boss keeps phonin’
“Will you be in today”
My head is aching from too much wine
So I ain’t gonna do it today
I said I ain’t
I ain’t gonna do it today
What am I gonna do without you?
My life is such a mess
Is it any wonder I feel so damn depressed
The stove ain’t workin’
The faucet leaks
This pile of garbage has been sittin’ here for a week
The lawyers are callin’ me to sign you away
But I ain’t gonna do it today
I said I ain’t
I ain’t gonna do it today
