| You contend
|
| Oh that you’ll never go back to her again
|
| You’re as free as a night without end
|
| So you tell your friends
|
| Just what you had to endure
|
| When you told her never, never again
|
| And as the room about you starts to bend
|
| You pretend
|
| That you’ve taken the easy way out
|
| Though you know when you told her last night
|
| You were facing the easy way out
|
| With one hand reachin' for the door
|
| But your feet weren’t movin'
|
| They were nailed to the floor
|
| As she told you once more
|
| There’s no easy way to get out
|
| She’s not like you
|
| She’d rather stay at home and not get the blues
|
| And if you ever do try to intrude
|
| She’s so respectfully rude
|
| So it was hard to believe
|
| Last night while you were drunk and threatening to leave
|
| That she walked thorugh the door with such ease
|
| And threw you the key
|
| And she’s takin' the easy way out
|
| And now you’re alone with no number to call
|
| She’s taken the easy way out
|
| With one hand reachin' for the door
|
| And you so speechless
|
| Marooned on the floor
|
| She walked out of your life
|
| Couldn’t stand it no more
|
| Now you’re all on your own
|
| 'Cos she’s taken the easy way out
|
| You know she’s taken the easy way out
|
| Oh, but your pride will only admit to a lie
|
| She’s taken the easy way out
|
| But to your friends
|
| You’re the hero of the night
|
| Drowning with beer all the tears in your eyes
|
| Hopin' it don’t show that you’re dyin' inside
|
| 'Cos you can’t quite believe
|
| That she’s taken the easy way out
|
| No going back now
|
| Stuck here on your own
|
| Lookin' for a home
|
| Drunk and on the streets
|
| Stuck on your feet
|
| Say babe we should talk about it
|
| Hey, babe we should talk about it
|
| Maybe we can come to some arrangement
|
| Why can’t we talk about it
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Just like old times sit and talk about it
|
| Y’see there’s no easy way out
|
| Why can’t you come back |
