Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm lazy when I'm lovin', I'm lazy when I play
I'm lazy with my girlfriend a thousand times a day
I'm lazy when I'm speaking, I'm lazy when I walk
I'm lazy when I'm dancin' and I'm lazy when I talk
[Verse 2]
I open up my mouth, it comes rushin' out
Nothin', doin' nada, never, how you like me now?
Wouldn't it be mad, wouldn't it be fine?
Lazy, lucky lady, dancin', lovin' all the time
[Verse 3]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
[Verse 4]
Lazy
Lazy
Lazy
I'm lazy
[Verse 5]
Now some folks, they got money, and some folks lives are sweet
Some folks make decisions and some folks clean the streets, now
Imagine what it feels like, imagine how it sounds
If everything were perfect and everything works out
[Verse 6]
No tears are fallin' from my eyes
I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now, don't you wanna live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be!
[Verse 7]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
[Verse 8]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
[Verse 9]
I'm lazy
Lazy
Lazy
Lazy
[Verse 10]
Imagine there's a girlfriend, imagine there's a job
Imagine there's an answer, imagine there's a God
Imagine I'm a devil, imagine I'm a saint
Lazy money, lazy sexy, lazy outta space
[Verse 11]
No tears are fallin' from my eyes
I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now, don't you wanna live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be!
[Verse 12]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
[Verse 13]
Lazy when I work, lazy on the day
Screamin' all you like, but it only fades away
I'm lazy when I'm prayin', lazy on the job
Got a lazy mind, a lazy eye, a lazy, lazy bod
[Verse 14]
Hard men, hard lives
Hard keepin' it all inside
Good times, good God
So lazy, I almost stop
[Verse 15]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
[Verse 16]
I'm lazy
Lazy
Lazy
I'm lazy
[Verse 17]
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooh, don't you wanna save me?
