Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
My buddy's got a girl who sleeps till noon
Never touched a broom or a dish in her life
He pays the rent and cooks the dinner too
While she just paints her nails and starts a fight
[verse]
My sister's got a man who plays all day
Video games while she works a double shift
He says he's finding himself, whatever that means
Meanwhile she's the one paying every bill he's missed
[chorus]
Why don't you get a job, why don't you pull your weight
Why don't you get a job before it's too late
Love is grand but love don't pay the rent
Somebody's gotta work for every cent you've spent
[verse]
I hear the same story every single week
From every friend stuck in the same routine
Loving somebody shouldn't mean you're broke
Loving somebody shouldn't be a losing scheme
[chorus]
Why don't you get a job, why don't you pull your weight
Why don't you get a job before it's too late
Love is grand but love don't pay the rent
Somebody's gotta work for every cent you've spent
[bridge]
I'm not saying love should come with conditions
I'm just saying carry your own share
Two people pulling makes it so much lighter
One person pulling just isn't fair
[verse]
So to my friends still footing every bill
To my sister still covering every debt
Maybe it's time you had a little talk
Before you drown in love and deep regret
[chorus]
Why don't you get a job, why don't you pull your weight
Why don't you get a job before it's too late
Love is grand but love don't pay the rent
Somebody's gotta work for every cent you've spent
