Give me a cigarette

But not your smoker's cough

I want to push your buttons

But I don't want to turn you on



I want to be a star

And I want to make it rain

So when I burn out

I got us to cool the pain



That's the problem with people like me

Why make it hard when you could make it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy

Why work hard when you could take it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy



Give the words of wisdom

But don't make me take the class

I want a fly out to the moon

But I don't want to pay for gas



When I stop working

You can put me in your trash

Or you can use me again

On a date that doesn't crash



That's the problem with people like me

Why make it hard when you could make it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy

Why work hard when you could take it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy



That's the problem with people like me

Why work hard when you could take it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy

That's the problem with people like me

Why make it hard when you could make it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy

Why work hard when you could take it easy

Take it easy, take take it easy

Why work hard when you could take it easy
