V4.5-ALL

Trash can’s overflowing, dishes stacked sky high,
I’m sweating like a farmer in the middle of July.
He ain’t moved all day except to grab a Mountain Dew,
Then he hollers from the couch, “Babe, what’s for dinner, too?”

(Pre-Chorus)
I said, “Boy, are your eyes decorative?”
He said, “Now don’t get negative…”

(Chorus)
He says, “Why didn’t you ask me?”
Like the laundry folded itself magically.
The vacuum ain’t driving, the dishes ain’t free,
But he’s busy saving kingdoms on his sixty-inch TV.

“Why didn’t you ask me?”
Lord, have mercy, somebody rescue me.
If common sense was gasoline, we’d still be on E,
And every single time it’s, “Why didn’t you ask me?”

(Verse 2)
I cut the grass, fixed the gate, hauled the groceries in,
Even changed a light bulb while he fought another win.
The baby’s got a diaper, the cat done threw up twice,
He’s yelling at a headset like he’s giving war advice.

I said, “Did you notice every chore in this house?”
He said, “I was gonna help right after this round, spouse.”
That was six hours ago and four snacks back,
Now he’s celebrating victory with cheese dust in his lap.

(Rap Break)
Yo—
Controller in his hand, feet up in the chair,
Acts shocked every time I say life’s unfair.
Bro, the dishes ain’t invisible, the trash ain’t shy,
You walked past it seventeen times, don’t even lie.

Mission objective: take out the trash.
Achievement unlocked? Nah, you failed that task.
Then he hits me with that line like it’s poetry,
“Baby, if you needed help, you should’ve asked me.”

(Chorus)
He says, “Why didn’t you ask me?”
Like I need a written form and a planning committee.
The dog needs fed, the floor needs swept,
But he’s building digital cabins while the real house gets wrecked.

“Why didn’t you ask me?”
That excuse should be a felony.
I shouldn’t need a PowerPoint presentation to see
That the laundry mountain’s screaming, “Why didn’t you ask me?”

(Bridge)
One day I’m gonna sit down too,
Grab a controller and a Mountain Dew.
Watch the dust bunnies multiply by three,
Then smile and say, “Now how’s that strategy?”

(Final Chorus)
He says, “Why didn’t you ask me?”
I said, “Bless your heart, that’s comedy.”
The chores got eyes, son, they’re easy to see,
You don’t need a formal invitation to responsibility.

So if you hear this song and it sounds like your scene,
Put the game on pause and help your queen.
Or she’ll write another verse and it’ll cost a fee—
About fifty bucks an hour for emotional labor and cleaning duties!

(Verse 1) I been up since six, got the coffee on brew, Fed the dogs, washed the clothes, paid a bill or two. Mopped the kitchen floor, cleaned the bathroom sink, Meanwhile he’s on level forty-seven, fighting dragons in a blink. Trash can’s overflowing, dishes stacked sky high, I’m sweating like a farmer in the middle of July. He ain’t moved all day except to grab a Mountain Dew, Then he hollers from the couch, “Babe, what’s for dinner, too?” (Pre-Chorus) I said, “Boy, are your eyes decorative?” He said, “Now don’t get negative…” (Chorus) He says, “Why didn’t you ask me?” Like the laundry folded itself magically. The vacuum ain’t driving, the dishes ain’t free, But he’s busy saving kingdoms on his sixty-inch TV. “Why didn’t you ask me?” Lord, have mercy, somebody rescue me.
