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 undercover

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

Nearly crying 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 you

I know there will be times when I'll need you there

And each night as I sing the 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

Nearly crying 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



Take it easy on me!

Oh baby, don't leave me crying...

Should be easy to see,

I've needed you for so long

Just one more chance with you,

Just 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

Nearly crying 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

So whatever you do

Take it easy on me
