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

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

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

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
One more chance will you 
Take a chance
Come on and take a chance

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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

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