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

(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 a chance?
Come on and take a chance


(instrumental)


(chorus)

It's still up to you

but whatever you do
take it easy on me
