Lyrics:
Today I Had A Lot Of Things To Do (But I Put Them All On Hold To Follow You) [Version (a)]:

I was supposed to take the trash
I meant to check the mail
I was due to count the cash
And to fix a rusty nail
Today I had a lot of things to do
But I put them on hold to follow you
 
The Song:

In order to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with song fragments, melodies, made-up song titles and make-believe album collections. "Today I Had A Lot Of Things To Do" is part of a collection of songs about stalking, Songs You Won't Be Able To Get Away From And Otherwise Inescapable Melodies.

Beck actually wrote very short melodies to go with one line of lyrics for the six songs listed on Inescapable Melodies.
