Lyrics

I woke up early this morning right around 5 am
My alarm sounded a warnin’ to drag myself out of bed
But there lyin’ next to me was my sweet lovin’ man
Sound asleep, as I could see, off in Never Never Land.
How I wish that I could stay with that man o’ mine in bed,
Call in sick for just one day and hang out with him instead!

I don’t wanna go to work and make coffee for some jerk
Take a letter, and make it better? What is it all worth?
All I wanna do is sing, write songs that lovin’ brings,
This infatuation is my addiction, it’s my cure for everything!

Well, reality slapped me in the face as my feet hit the floor,
There was nothin’ else for me to do but what’d I’d done before.
So I got myself showered and dressed and I drove my car away.
I really felt like a mess, ‘cause it was just too early in the day!
I drove into the parking lot just like I did yesterday,
Couldn’t find a legal spot, so I almost drove away!

I don’t wanna go to work and make coffee for some jerk
Take a letter, and make it better? What is it all worth?
All I wanna do is sing, write songs that lovin’ brings,
This infatuation is my addiction, it’s my cure for everything!

I greeted my boss with a smile, as forced as it was for me,
But he immediately put me on trial for a typo I didn’t see!
I just couldn’t understand why he got so bent out of shape!
It was just a slip of the hand that turned “You are…” into “You ape…”! (oops!)
I just couldn’t take anymore, this office stuff wasn’t for me.
So I headed on out the door singin’ this very melody!

I don’t wanna go to work and make coffee for some jerk
Take a letter, and make it better? What is it all worth?
All I wanna do is sing, write songs that lovin’ brings,
This infatuation is my addiction, it’s my cure for everything!
And all I wanna do is SING!
