Easy
Boyz II Men(보이즈 투 맨) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed

Oh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Why in the world
Would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it!
No!

Oh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

Line by Line Meaning

Know it sounds funny
I understand that this may sound humorous

But I just can't stand the pain
However, I cannot continue to endure this mental anguish

Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
My dear, I have made the decision to depart from you in the near future

Seems to me girl
It appears that, my love,

You know I've done all I can
I have exerted all efforts possible in resolving our issues

You see I begged, stole
I have pleaded, taken and even resorted to less than acceptable means

And I borrowed
just to keep us afloat

Oh, that's why I'm easy
Therefore, I am at ease

I'm easy like Sunday morning
I am as laid-back as a peaceful Sunday morning

Why in the world
I cannot comprehend

Would anybody put chains on me?
Why anyone would try to control me?
