Takin` The Easy Way Out — текст песни (Leo Sayer)

you contendthat you`ll never got back to her againyou`re as free as a night without endso you tell your friendsjust what you had to endurewhen you told her never, never againand as the room about you starts to bendyou pretend
that you`ve taken the easy way outthough you know ehn you told her last nightyou were fakin` the easy way outwith one hand reachin` fo the doorbut your feet weren`t movin`they were nailed to the flooras she told you once morethere`s no easy way to get out
she`s not like youshe`d rather stay at home`n` not get the bluesand if you ever do try to intrudeshe`s so respectfully rudeso it was hard to believelast night while you were drunk `n`threatening to leavethat she walked through the door with such ease`n` threw you the key
and she`s takin` the easy way outand you`re alone with no number to callshe`s taken the easy way outwith one hand reachin` for the doorand you so speechlessmarooned on the floorshe walked out of your lifecouldn`t stand it no morenow you`re all on your own`cos she`s taken the easy way out
you know she`s taken the easy way outoh, but your pride will only admit to a lieyeah, she`s taken the easy way outbut, to your friendsyou`re the hero of the nightdrowning with beef all the tears in your eyeshopin` it don`t show that you`re dyin` inside`cause you can`t quite believethat she`s taken the easy way out
there`s no goin` back nowstuck here on your ownlookin` for a homedrunk and on the streetsstuck on your feet
