Steve Taylor Lyrics
"Happy Go Lazy"

Don't say a word
It's all in your stare
I'm a bum and I'm nothing
If not self-aware

You say you love me
That's why you're in my face
Well I put this plan in place

I made up a list
Of the things that I lack
Six words:
I want you off my back

Happy go lazy
That's the way I am
(*whistling*)
You'll go crazy
If you think you can
Change a man
(*whistling*)

(*whistling*)

I give you good love
You're giving me grief
Dropping hints, leaving notes
Texting turn over a new leaf

Turn it yourself
Cause it's out of my reach
Like that "get up you lazy bum" speech

No, I'm not listening
Your friends are correct
I've got zero ambition
And I want your respect

Happy go lazy
That's the way I am
(*whistling*)
You'll go crazy
If you think you can
Change a man
(*whistling*)

Happy go lazy
You're cute when you pout
I'm so lazy
Can't finish this song without
(*saxophone*)

(*whistling*)
I've seen all the others
They're not what you need
Wrapped in a suit programmed to succeed

Driven by money
They ply you with stuff
But their world is not enough

Baby I'll grow you a garden
If you give me the space
We're just wildflowers
We don't belong in a vase

Happy go lazy
That's the way I am
(*whistling*)
You'll go crazy
If you think you can
Change a man
(*whistling*)

Happy go lazy
You're cute when you pout
I'm so lazy
Can't finish this song without
(*opera singing*)

Baby I'll grow you a garden
Baby I'll grow you a garden
