I'm Lazy when I play
I'm lazy with my girlfriend, a thousand times a day
I'm lazy when I'm speakin
I'm lazy when I walk
I'm lazy when I'm dancin
I'm lazy when I talk
Air comes rushin out
Nothin doin nada never how you like me now?

Lazy lucky lady dancin lovin all the time
Ohh , I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ohh, Don't you want to save me?

There's some folks they got money &
Some folks life is sweet
Some folks make decisions &
Some folks clean the street
Now, Imagine what it feels like
Imagine how it sounds
Imagine life is perfect and every thing works out
No tears are falling from my eyes
I'm keepin all the pain inside
Now don't you want to live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be
Ohh , I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ohh, Don't you want to save me
I'm lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy
Imagine there's a girlfriend

Lazy money, lazy sexy, lazy outa space
No tears are falling from my eyes

Ohh , I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ohh, Don't you want to save me
