Verlene - If I Dont Do It Lyrics

I put in forty plus hours just like him
In the dog-eat-dog, in the sink or swim
I believe in equal work, equal pay
And that shouldn't end at the end of the day

But when I get home there's so much to do
Like watering plants, feeding the cat
And I'm pretty sure he can see it too
So how come it's up to me?

Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done
If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done

It's not like he's lazy, we've divided the chores
I do the bathrooms, he does the floors
I wash the dishes, I make the bed
I buy the groceries, and I get him fed

It's the little things that count they say
Like a tee-shirt here, a coffee cup there
Just how d'you s'pose they get put away
You think they get up and walk?

Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done
If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done

I beg, I plead, I tell him twice
I threaten him, I even ask him nice
And if he gets tired of hearing me nag
Guess who's gonna have to pack his bag

Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done
If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done
