Nobody Ever Wants To Work That Hard
it'll take a while before it gets into my blood
I'll bide my time until it's written in stone
run with the devil like y'know that y'should
and I'll find a way out o' here on my own
\/\/
describe one's colors to the willingly blind
reluctantly shines my one n' only star
so many lovers with whom to invest my time
and nobody ever wants to work that hard
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever wants to work that hard
You want to shut down before making a start
nobody ever wants to work that hard
\/\/
after crying salty tears I blow my nose
I've been kicking up the leaves in Paisley Park
they arrested me with their dos and their don'ts
this time, "looking for relief long after dark"
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever wants to work that hard
there's a carpet of leaves out in the yard
nobody ever wants to work that hard
\/\/
nobody ever wants to work that hard

This is a funny song. Written to relieve stress. Musically it's far from finished, I'm eager to get to work on the finishing touches. Soon I'll have time to knuckle down to it. Ok, music is finished, it's a blast! I'm feeling like the bestest songwriter in town!
After the first rendition someone looked through my eyes and into my skull and slowly said: "some of us do." For cryin' out loud!
I don't know if it's lyrically finished. Enjoy. It's finished.
