sold my sole for the sond time

cos the man dont pay me

I begged my landlord for some more time

He said "son the bills are wating"

My best friend called me the other night

He say "man - you crazy"

My girlfriend told me to get a life

She said "boy - you lazy"

But i dont mind

as long as theres a bed beneath the stars that shine

Ill be fine

If you give me a minute

A mans got a limit

I cant get a life if my hearts not in it

I've lost my faith in the summer time

Cos it dont stop raning

The sky all day is as dark as night

But im not complaning

I begged my doctor for one more line

He say " son - words fail me

It aint your place to be kinning tim"

i guess im just lazy

But i dont mind

as long as theres a bed beneath the stars that shine

Ill be fine

If you give me a minute

A mans got a limit

I cant get a life if my hearts not in it
