Nina Simone - The Laziest Girl in Town lyrics

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 little 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, laziest gal in town
