Laid Back
Rayne Johnson Lyrics

Doctor said my blood pressure's down
My health has improved since you left and my blood pressure is lower according to my doctor.

And it's been that way since you skipped town
Since you left, my health has remained stable and my blood pressure has remained low.

And I know you thought your leavin'
I understand that you likely expected your departure to trigger a reaction from me

Would make me feel like screamin'
You may have believed that I would be screaming or yelling because of your departure.

But baby, I ain't even stressin' out
In reality, I'm not stressed about it at all.

I bet you thought I'd be gettin' lonely
You likely believed that I would be lonely without you.

Thought I'd be gettin' angry
Alternatively, you may have expected me to be angry with you for leaving.

But girl, I ain't even gettin' mad
However, I'm actually not angry with you in the slightest.

'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
Instead, I've been relaxing and taking it easy since you left.

Baby, you should know that
You should be aware of what I've been up to since you departed.

I don't need your criticism, pessimism
I don't require your negativity, criticism or pessimism in my life.

I've been keepin' it on the DL
I've been keeping this information on the down-low or secretive.

Got a girl that keeps it real
I have a girlfriend who is honest and authentic with me.

And it's on a need-to-know and all you need to know babe
This is private information between me and my partner, and you only need to know what I'm telling you now.

Since you've been gone
I've been living this way since you departed.

I've been gettin' laid back
I've been taking it easy and enjoying myself.

Used to have these headaches all day long
I used to experience headaches frequently.

But it's disappeared since you've been gone
However, since you left, my headaches have disappeared.

And that girl next door, she sees me
My neighbor, a girl who lives next door notices me.

Loves how I'm takin' it easy
She admires how relaxed and easy-going I am.

Blows kisses at me while I mow my lawn
She even goes as far as blowing kisses my way while I'm doing yard work.

But I've been gettin' luckier than that
Despite this, I've been even luckier than just having her as a friendly neighbor.

'Cause I've been gettin' laid back
I've been able to relax and take some time to myself.

Busy gettin' laid back
I've been occupied with enjoying my life and my relaxation time.

Keep gettin' lucky gettin' laid back
I'm continuously experiencing good fortune and have been able to continue my laid-back lifestyle.

Baby, you should know that
Again, I want you to be aware of what I've been doing.

I don't need your criticism, pessimism
I still don't require any negativity from you in my life.

I've been keepin' it on the DL
Again, I've been keeping this information to myself and a select few.

Got a girl that keeps it real
And, as mentioned before, I've got a girlfriend who is truthful and genuine.

But that's on a need-to-know and all you need to know babe
Again, this is private information between me and my girlfriend, and you only need to know what I'm telling you now.

Since you've been gone
This is how I've been spending my time since you left.

I've been gettin' laid back
I've been taking it easy and enjoying myself.

Busy gettin' laid back
I've been staying occupied with my new, relaxed lifestyle.

Keep gettin' lucky gettin' laid back
I'm still continuously getting lucky and able to maintain my more laid-back lifestyle.
