Lyrics

You Shouldn't Have To

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You’ve got this confidence, yeah it was obvious

The way you walked in here

You look sensational and totally capable

Of buying your own beer

But you shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to

I hate to think about everything you’ve done without

Or how it’s been before

You’ve ever walked home alone or sat and waited by the phone

Or opened your own door

You shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to

Do you ever wonder when your dreams will come true

A girl like you can do anything

But anything you don’t wanna do

You shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to

You ever long for a back rub

All alone in your bathtub

Need your glass of wine topped off

But you have to get out and dry off, aw

You shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to

Do you ever wonder when your dreams will come true

A girl like you can do anything

But anything you don’t wanna do

Like wash your own car or bait your own hook

Get all made up, wonder how you look

Make your own breakfast, make the first move

Feel like you ain’t being listened to

Kill your own spiders, change a flat tire

Stoke your own fire, mow your own grass

Pump your own gas, ever feel pain

Wish you had a ring on your hand

Feel like anything less than the best-lookin’ thing this town’s ever seen

Have a dress you’d love to wear but you gotta wait

'Cause there ain’t nobody there to help you zip the thing

You shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to

You shouldn’t have to
