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
