Lazy - Richard Shindell

Lazy, I get so lazy

When I’m with you

I just want to stay there

Doing something

Approaching nothing

I think I had an appointment

Something important

But I can’t remember

I know I should care

But I’m just too lazy

I’d rather spend the afternoon

Just lying here with you

That’s all I want to do

Since I met you

Monday — I should be working

I call in lazy

I can’t make excuses

No one believes me

They know the truth is

That I’m just

Lazy — it’s unamerican

I should be fighting

For my promotion

I would feel guilty

But I’m too lazy

I’d rather spend the afternoon

Just making love to you

That’s all I want to do

Since I met you
