taking the easy way out

Singer:charley pride

letting me down easy would be the lovin' thing to do

you could take it step by step till i get used to losin' you

now i can't really blame you if the feeling has disappeared

but you won't even look me in the eye

oh you're takin' the easy way out takin' the easy way out

at least you could've told me a lie

but you're takin' the easy way out takin' the easy way out

not even sayin' goodbye

it may be hard to face me but it's twice as hard to watch you go

goodbyes are never easy but you could have let me know

now i don't mean to criticize you i'm not tryin' to put you down

i just thought that you would be a little kinder

oh but you're takin' the easy way out takin' the easy way out

at least you could've told me a lie

but you're takin' the easy way out takin' the easy way out

not even sayin' goodbye
