Too Much Work - Cowboy Mouth

Alright…

Yeah

Flying to the gate today

I saw, I couldn’t understand

A pretty woman in a bright, red dress

With a phone in both of her hands

In one, she said, «I love you.»

In the other, she cooed the same

But the red dress girl seemed so put out

By playing this dangerous game

And then she stood up tall, for all to see

And left in quite a huff

I wondered if the ones who want her know

That they’ll never be enough

Cause that’s way too much work

And that’s way too much work

That’s a whole lot of trouble just to wind up hurt

And that’s way too much work

I said, that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

It’s so much easier to smile and flirt

Cause that’s way too much work

Oh yeah

Jane’s hooking up with Jimmy

But Jimmy’s in love with Joan

Joanie’s hot for Jeffrey and Scott

But they just want to be alone

Why is it so much love today

Turns in to so much scorn?

Cause little girls are raised on fairytales

And little boys are raised on porn

Now, the greater the expectation lies

The harder comes the fall

Emotional misinformation

'Til we don’t feel a thing at all

And that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

That’s a whole lot of trouble just to kiss the dirt

And that’s way too much work

I said, that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

There’s easier ways to try to get in your squirt

And that’s way too much work

Yeah, come on, baby

Oh…

Now, it’s so much more than how we look

Our money, job or car

But the value placed on useless things these days

Is so bizarre

How can someone really love you

When they don’t know who you are?

Yeah, well, that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

That’s a whole lot of trouble just to kiss the dirt

And that’s way too much work

I said, that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

It’s so much easier to kiss and flirt

And that’s way too much work

I said, that’s way too much work

That’s way too much work

It’s a whole lot of trouble just to wind up hurt

And that’s way too much work

(Way too much work

Way too much work) Oh yeah

(Way too much work)

That’s way too much work

(Hey now, hey now)
