I can see it in your eyes    you don't love me    and though you tried to hide    hide it from me    I know i can see the truth    so easy to love you in the beginning    and so easy to play the fool    cuz i was willing    but it's over now       when loving you was easy    when loving you was easy    tried to make it hard for me    still i stuck around    i was set on loving you    and no matter what you did    i stuck through it       when loving you was easy    why'd you make it harder    why'd you make it hard for me    when i stuck around    wishing that you'd would come around    oh, you made it easy for me to leave you       it could have been so easy cuz    my heart was easy to give ya    like second nature    lovin you was systematic    like i was an addict    it hurt me but i couldn't get enough    it's like you hated me around    but when i left you couldn't stand it    and you needed me around    but i can't take the ups and downs    it's one thing that i found    i gotta get over you       when loving you was easy    when loving you was easy    tried to make it hard for me    when i stuck around    hopin that you'd come around    and no matter what you did    i stuck through it       when loving you was easy    so why'd you make it harder    why'd you make it hard for me    when i stuck around    wishing that you'd come around    cuz now you made it easy for me to leave you       i gave you everything i had    didn't ask you for anything that i didn't give you myself    if you didn't want to say (hey hey)    that was all you had to say    cuz although i used to love you    and need you    you knew that i knew we couldn't last for long    and i didn't mean to bring the choir to let you know you were wrong       when loving you was easy    when loving you was easy    ya tried to make it hard for me    when i stuck around    hopin that you'd come around    and no matter what you did    i stuck through it all       when loving you was easy    why'd you make it harder    why'd you make it hard for me    and i stuck around    wishing that you'd come around (but i'm tired now)    and that's why i'm leavin you       i'm leavin you    i'm leavin you
