Ain't Doin' Too Bad
Living Easy: Eva Cassidy's Song of Contentment
Lyrics
Well, I got me some money
Expressing possession of money.
And a fine place to stay
Having a comfortable place to live.
Got a car I can drive
Owning a car and the ability to drive.
I ride around everyday
Regularly driving around.
Ain't doing too bad
Stating that life is going well.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Reaffirming a positive state in life.
I ain't doing too bad baby
Emphasizing the positive situation, addressing a significant other.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Repeating the assertion of doing well in life.
I got a book full of men
Having a list of men to call.
I can call on the phone
Having the ability to contact men by phone.
And they all dig me
Men admire and appreciate the speaker.
'Cause my conversation's so strong
Attributing the positive response to strong conversational skills.
Ain't doing too bad
Reiterating the positive state of life.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Continuing to express contentment.
I ain't doing too bad baby
Restating the positive situation, addressing a significant other.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Reaffirming the positive state of life.
I don't like work
Expressing a dislike for work.
Work don't like me
Mutual dislike between the speaker and work.
We stay away from each other
Avoiding each other, suggesting a preference for leisure.
That's the way it ought to be
Describing the ideal relationship between the speaker and work.
Ain't doing too bad
Reaffirming the positive state of life.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Continuing to express contentment.
I ain't doing too bad baby
Emphasizing the positive situation, addressing a significant other.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Repeating the assertion of doing well in life.
Ain't doing too bad
Reiterating the positive state of life.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Continuing to express contentment.
Oh no, no, no, I ain't doing too bad
Denying any negative circumstances.
Ain't doing too bad at all
Reaffirming the positive state of life.
