Philip Bailey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see
She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it
No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see
You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
Better forget it
You'll never get it
Oh, she'll say that there's no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it
And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh, seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover)
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
She's like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see, yeah)
She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
And like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other

The song "Easy Lover" by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins is a cautionary tale about a notoriously alluring and charming woman who is capable of breaking hearts without remorse. The lyrics depict a man who is warning another man about the dangers of falling for her seductive charms. The song's powerful chorus, "She's an easy lover, she'll get a hold on you believe it, like no other, before you know it you'll be on your knees" serves as a warning sign of the woman's ability to ensnare men with a single glance. The lyrics go on to describe the woman as one who will break your heart but you won't even realize it, making her a truly dangerous and cunning figure.
As the song continues, it becomes clear that the man being warned is infatuated with the woman and is hoping to hold on to her, even though he knows she can't be tamed. The lyrics advise that the best course of action is to forget about her and move on, as attempting to control or change her would be futile. The song's powerful chorus repeated several times further emphasizes the message.
Overall, "Easy Lover" is a warning to men everywhere to be wary of women who are charismatic and alluring, but also possess a dangerous side.

@theblackpearlofbraavos
They should've made a whole album together. This is GOLD.
@landischorsch
They did. Collins produced Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall (which includes "Easy Lover"). Collins played also drums on that album and the backing band consisted of Earth Wind and Fire (Phenix Horns) and Genesis/Collins live and studio (Daryl Stuermer) musicians.
@theblackpearlofbraavos
@@landischorsch Whoa. I was a kid when this came out and my dad was a big EW&F and blasted anything with Philip Bailey on it
@landischorsch
@@theblackpearlofbraavos Wow really. I come from the other side: I've been a Phil Collins fan since I was 11 years old, so this wonderful piece of music reached my radar very soon after. Sometime later, I learned to know Philip Bailey's album Chinese Wall and I thought it was a wonderful American/British collaboration. When I learned to love 1970s and 1980s soul/funk/R&B in my late teen years, EW&F came automatically across my ears and since the recent years I've thought All 'N All is my favorite EW&F album.
