it ain't easy bein' easy

surely you can sit down a while

maybe you can even smile

and i'll try to pretend

that you love me again

but it might take me a little while

soon you'll be holding me tight

you'll know when the moment is right

i was broken into

it was all because of you

but baby i need you tonight

it ain't easy to be easy you know

you're the one who took my heart and my soul

walked away and left me out of control

it ain't easy bein' easy

i might end up lonely again

but once you were my closest friend

so i'll hold you and cry

with the truth in my eyes

hopin' you'll love me again

it ain't easy to be easy you know

you're the one who took my heart and my soul

walked away and left me out of control

it ain't easy to be easy you know

it ain't easy when you're needin' someone

it ain't easy bein' under the gun

i'll surrender even though i should run

it ain't easy bein' easy
