You contend

That you'll never got back to her again

You're as free as a night without end

So you tell your friends

Just what you had to endure

When you told her never, never again

And as the room about you starts to bend

You pretend



That you've taken the easy way out

Though you know ehn you told her last night

You were fakin' the easy way out

With one hand reachin' fo the door

But your feet weren't movin'

They were nailed to the floor

As she told you once more

There's no easy way to get out



She's not like you

She'd rather stay at home

'n' not get the blues

And if you ever do try to intrude

She's so respectfully rude

So it was hard to believe

Last night while you were drunk 'n'

Threatening to leave

That she walked through the door with such ease

'n' threw you the key



And she's takin' the easy way out

And you're alone with no number to call

She's taken the easy way out

With one hand reachin' for the door

And you so speechless

Marooned on the floor

She walked out of your life

Couldn't stand it no more

Now you're all on your own

'cos she's taken the easy way out



You know she's taken the easy way out

Oh, but your pride will only admit to a lie

Yeah, she's taken the easy way out

But, to your friends

You're the hero of the night

Drowning with beef all the tears in your eyes

Hopin' it don't show that you're dyin' inside

'cause you can't quite believe

That she's taken the easy way out



There's no goin' back now

Stuck here on your own

Lookin' for a home

Drunk and on the streets

Stuck on your feet
