Don’t Wanna

​

 

I got 15 chores that she wrote down on this weekend “honey do” 

I see those 25 extra, stubborn pounds I know I need to lose

I just stepped on 60 frickin’ legos that my kids left on the floor 

and there’s an endless pile of dishes I’ll ignore

 

I promised myself last night I was gonna, but now I got a big ol’ case of don’t wanna

 

Those million things will have to wait while I sit here and procrastinate

I’m not sayin’ that they’re hard to do but every “Family Guy” is on Hulu

I know that I should, definitely could but I’ll just stay here on this couch

I’m probably wrong, but my will power’s gone so I just keep on veggin’ out

                    

I don’t wanna

    

I got prospects blowin’ up my phone and I don’t wanna call ‘em back and then LinkedIn keeps on buggin’ me to tell some network guy “congrats” on his new job

and all those stupid bubbles; is like a thousand unread email 

and I’m forgetting something major without fail

 

If I don’t get in gear then I’m gonna lose this job but I just don’t wanna

 

Those million things will have to wait while I sit here and procrastinate

I’m not sayin’ that they’re hard to do but every “Justified” is on Hulu

I know that I should, definitely could but I’ll just stay here on this couch

I’m probably wrong, but my will power’s gone so I just keep on veggin’ out

 

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna

 

Now I’m unemployed and she keep’s sayin’ that she can hardly tell where the sofa

Ends and I begin and I gotta do somethin’ ‘bout the smell ‘fore it kills her

She caught me playin’ on my phone again and threw it on the floor, 

and I was just about to nail the highest score

 

She said if I don’t change I’m goner, she’s kickin’ me out but damn I don’t wanna

 

I don’t wanna pack up all my dirty clothes don’t know where the hell I’d even go

I’d have to get up and go find a bag, and leave my children askin’ “where’s my dad?”

I know I’m a jerk, that’s way too much work, so in my mind there is no doubt

If she want wants me gone, she better be strong, ‘cause there’s no way I’m movin’ out 

 

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna
