Laziest Gal in Town — текст песни (Nina Simone)

It`s not `cause I wouldn`t,
It`s not `cause I shouldn`t,
And, you know though well, it`s not `cause I couldn`t,
It`s simply because I`m the laziest gal in town.

My poor heart is achin`
To bring home the bacon,
And if I find myself alone and forsaken,
It`s simply because I`m the laziest gal in town.

Though I`m more than willing to learn
How these gals get so much extra money to burn,
Every proposition I just turn it down,
`Way down,

It`s not `cause I wouldn`t,
It`s not `cause I shouldn`t, honey,
And, you know, that it`s not `cause I couldn`t,
It`s simply because I`m the laziest gal in town.
