Easy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow

Seems to me girl, you know I've done all I can
You see, I begged, stole and I borrowed
, yeah, ooh

[Chorus]
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning


[Verse 2]
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it, no, ooh


[Chorus]
That's why I'm easy, yeah
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

[Bridge]
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, oh babe
Ooh
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, woah
'Cause I'm easy, whoo
Easy like Sunday morning, yeah
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning, woah
'Cause I'm easy
