[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, I get out of bed
Too late to go to work, walked my dog instead

[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, but I get by

[Verse 2]
You don't have to tell me, I've got a lot to learn
Think I gotta laugh at your overconcern?

[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, but I get by
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made, yeah

[Chorus 2]
I don't want no fast car, whoa no

[Verse 3]
I'm never ready, don't have to wait
Everybody knows I'm bound to get there late
[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, but I get by
Hey, lord, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made, yeah

[Chorus 2]
I don't want no fast car, whoa no

[Verse 3]
I'm never ready, you don't have to wait
Everybody knows I'm bound to get there late

[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, but I get by, mmm

[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, but I get by, yeah, oh, yeah

[Chorus 1]
I don't try too hard, mmm

[Outro]
Late, oh no
Late, oh
