[Verse 1]
My mama made a honey-do list
For my pops while she's away
Down in Texas playing with the grandkids
He's in Indiana teaching for the day
So I made myself the same list
Exercise every day, cook my dinner every night
Sometimes I worry that I let you down
When I'm watching TV until midnight
[Chorus]
But I'm bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, it's true
Worried everyone can see straight through
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, you're good
And I think you're good
[Verse 2]
Turn the page you want to
Take the promise leave the warning
I get up out of my bed and get my ass in the living room
Tell my best friend good morning
It's no wonder that I stagnate
4 PM rolls around I'm getting coffee and a cinnamon twist
I got groceries in the fridge and a check on my list
That says my past self knew that I'd do something like this
[Chorus]
But I'm bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, it's true
Worried everyone can see straight through
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, you're good
And I think you're good
[Chorus]
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man,you're good
And I think you're good
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, you're good
And I think you're good
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, you're good
And I think you're good
Bored, and I'm cooped up and too hot
Wanted more, now it's too much and I'm just not
What I thought would make a good man, you're good
And I think you're good
