lyrics

I never cared much about combing my hair
I never cared much about the shoes that I wear
I never cared much when people would stare
But now … You’re making me work for it

I never cared much about the stain on my shirt
I’d roll up to the party all covered in dirt
I never cared much about my wrinkly clothes
But now …. You’re making me work for it

I thought it was easy to get my foot in the door
But now to keep it open you’re expecting so much more

I never cared much about being on time
The very last minute’s when I always arrive
If you told me eight, I’d be there quarter to nine
But now… you’re making me work for it

Work for it! [repeat]

Oh, I never cared much about looking a mess
I never even tried to be impeccably dressed
Now I look into a mirror and it causes me stress
Cause now… You’re making me work for it
