It used to be so easy to be your lover   We wandered through the days like they had no end   But now that you are gone, I'm under cover   I just can't think about you as a friend      Take it easy on me   It should be easy to see   I'm getting lost in the crowd   Hear me cryin' out loud      Just want you to know   I know that you have to go   It's all up to you but whatever you do   Take it easy on me      So now I'll go the Minstrel road without   I know there will be times when I need you there   And each night as I sing those songs about you   I'll think back to the time when you used to care      Take it easy on me   It should be easy to see   I'm getting lost in the crowd   Hear me cryin' out loud      Just want you to know   I know that you have to go   It's all up to you but whatever you do      Take it easy on me   Oh baby don't leave me cryin'   It should be easy to see   I've needed you for so long   Just one more chance with you   One more chance will you, take a chance?   Come on and take a chance      Take it easy on me   It should be easy to see   I'm getting lost in the crowd   Hear me cryin' out loud      Just want you to know   I know that you have to go   It's all up to you but whatever you do   Take it easy on me   It's still up to you but whatever you do   Take it easy on me
