It's Easy
CALE J.J. & CLAPTON Eric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell her in front what you can do
It's easy, easy as pie
Don't have to be a ?
You don't have to lie
If you play the guitar it won't be long
You'd be writing and singing, them songs
And you've been bet, if you don't quit
If you feel kinda lonesome, a friend's inside
Get yourself a dog and be alright
Get yourself too, lucky me
Now one thing nice, I'll be there twice to love you
It's so easy gettin' through these times
So easy your love and mine
If you wanna think she's ugly and always depressed
She can go out and buy herself a new dress
It's easy, easy for her
Solves all of her problems, that's for sure
It's so easy gettin' through these times
So easy your love and mine
If she cashes your property, you might regret
Use that old plastic, swipe deeper in debt
It's easy, easy you see
If tomorrow never comes, everything is free
It's so easy gettin' through these times
So easy your love and mine
It's so easy gettin' through these times
So easy your love and mine
The song "It's Easy" by J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton seemingly offers advice on how to navigate through life's challenges. The opening verse suggests that if you want to have a woman in your bed, you don't need to be a trickster or a liar. All you have to do is be straightforward with what you can do. The chorus of the song is the repeated phrase, "it's so easy getting through these times, so easy your love and mine," which suggests that life can be uncomplicated if you have love.
The second verse implies that if you have a talent, such as playing the guitar, and you use it, you can achieve success by writing and singing songs. The following lines suggest that if you feel lonely, getting a dog can remedy that feeling. Finally, the last verse is about overcoming more significant challenges. If someone takes your property or money, you can still use a credit card to swipe yourself into more debt, and if the future never comes, then everything is free. In summary, the song takes a humorous approach to life's struggles, offering simple solutions to problems.
