The Laziest Gal in Town Lyrics

Marlene Dietrich

It′s not 'cause I shouldn′t
Not 'cause I wouldn't
And you know
It′s not ′cause I couldn't
It′s simply because I'm the laziest girl in town

My poor heart is aching
To bring home the bacon
And if I′m alone and forsaken
It's simply because I′m the laziest girl in town

Though I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get money to burn
Every proposition I turn down
Way down

It's not ′cause I shouldn′t
Not 'cause I wouldn′t
And you know
It's not ′cause I couldn't
It′s simply because I'm the laziest girl in town

Nothing ever worries me
Nothing ever hurries me
I take pleasure leisurely
Even when I kiss

But when I kiss they want some more
And wanting more becomes a bore
It isn't worth the fighting for
So I tell them this

It′s not ′cause I shouldn't
Not ′cause I wouldn't
And you know
It′s not 'cause I couldn′t
It's simply because I'm the laziest girl in town
