Lyrics
Taking The Easy Way Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Could it be that you could never find time
For love and romance.
Or were you hanging out and sitting on the side lines
Afraid to take a chance.
I should have know your reputation
And your attitude.
I should have seen your limitations
Now I'm telling you.
Chorus
You're just taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out.
I got your telegram
You couldn't give a damn
Taking the easy way out
You're just taking the easy way out
Well I know that every time you used to hold me
I'd feel a little high
It's a drag to think that you could never hold
It's not as if you're shy
I should have know your reputation
And your attitude
I should have seen your limitations
Now I'm telling you
Chorus
Break
Chorus
Vamp to fade
