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

Chorus:

Take it easy on me
It should be easy to see
I'm getting lost in the crowd
Hear me 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 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

(Repeat Chorus)

Take it easy on me
Oh baby don't leave me crying
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 chance?
Come on and take a chance

(Repeat Chorus)

It's still up to you but whatever you do
Take it easy on me
