Song Lyrics For Monday

[browngirl]

Because this resonated with me, and because I have never really stopped being a teenager despite having not been one for over a decade.



“Easy” by The Barenaked Ladies

What’s a boy to do
When you tell your tale,
And it never fails,
I just end up feeling bad for you

With your hang dog eyes
You can bring me down
Now I’m wrapped around your whole hand,
stop looking so surprised

Make it easy
You make it easy

I’ve been burned before,
You’re not fooling me,
there’s no mystery
You’ve forgotten what you’re hiding for

Call it self defense
You can obfuscate and manipulate,
But it’s only at your own expense

Make it easy
You make it easy

Easy to be with you
Easy to obey
Easy to forgive you at the end of the day
Easy now to judge you
Easy to betray
Easy to adore you, though you wanna run away

Look what you have done
I can do the same
Two can play this game,
You’ll no longer be the only one

Make it easy
You make it easy
