Described as a “divorce song”, Beccy Cole’s “Lazy Bones” was written about her short marriage to Mick Albeck, which lasted for a year and a half between 1998 and 1999. The couple have a son named Ricky.

[Intro]
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 1]
Well, it's way too soon to have the seven-year itch
But he's getting cranky and I'm just a bit unsure
I'll tell you what I mean
You see, when we first met, I thought, "Well, this is it"
But it turns out my head was just full of shining stars
Things just ain't what they seem
[Chorus]
Ooh
My cards are played (My cards are played)
Oh, ooh
I wanna get lazy bones out my back door
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 2]
Now I'm not the type to make the first pass
But when he walked by and I saw his ash-colored eyes
Well, it was like a dream
Oh yes, it was
And now my dreams are lying in broken bits
'Cause I know hе only loved me for my big telеvision
I've got a widescreen
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh
Ooh
My cards are played (My cards are played)
Oh, ah-ooh
Why can't I get lazy bones out my back door?
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 3]
Well, I love getting hugged and I love getting kissed
And he loves beer and he loves getting pretty drunk
It goes straight to his head
Oh yes, it does
And I guess my mother warned me when I was five or six
She said that men like him only think with their defective brains
Least I think that's what she said
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh
Ooh
My cards are played (My cards are played)
Oh, ah-ooh
I just wanna get lazy bones out my back door
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah
[Outro]
(Lazy bones) Lazy bones, mmm-hmm
Lazy bones (Lazy bones)
Boy, you can kiss my
Cheek
