Lyrics The Slackers

The Slackers

Don't Have To

You feel good?

You feel alright?

The boys backstage thought you might need a little

more.

Let's do it!

I spent three years learnin' how to talk,

The next thirty learnin' not to.

Two years learnin' how to walk,

about the same for a motorcycle.

Eight years living in a powder keg,

to light the matches.

But now I found you,

And you found me too

So now I just don't have to

I walked five miles up a hill through a foot of snow,

To make a phone call on your birthday.

I swam 8 miles fighting a hammerhead shark,

To get your present there by Thursday.

Climbed a thousand foot hill using only one hand,

Just to tell the world of my affections

But you already knew,

That our love grew,

And now I just don't have to.

I spend no time taking you for granted,

And I guess that I never will now.

A lot of time thinking about your love,

Because you're givin' me such a thrill now.

Sunday morning I'm thankin' The Lord for you,

With a quick nod to the devil.

I was so blue,

Just waiting for you

now I just don't have to.

Just don't have to.

I said now I just don't have to.

Don't have to.
