I'm Easy
CARRADINE KEITH Lyrics

It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking
I won't pretend to love you only when it benefits me to appear to do so.

It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure
I won't pretend to offer comfort or affection if I am uncertain about my true feelings towards you.

It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me, when it's a love you won't be needing, you're not free
I won't reveal my true emotions to you if you are not genuinely interested in returning my love.

Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing
Don't waste my time by pretending to care or pay attention to me if you are just playing around.

If you won't take the things you make me want to give
Don't lead me on by making me want to give you things that you won't accept or reciprocate.

I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane
I am not interested in playing games, and your behavior is causing me to question my sanity.

You're not half as free to wander as you claim
Your claims of freedom to explore other options are not entirely true, and may be causing me undue stress.

But I'm easy
Despite my protestations, my feelings for you are genuine and strong.

Give the word and I'll play your game
If you express interest in me, I am willing to go along with whatever you want or need in our relationship.

So that's how it ought to be
This is how I believe the situation should play out between us.

Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me
Don't lead me to believe that there is potential for a deeper connection between us if you have no intention of following through.

If loving you would have to be a sometime thing
If the nature of our relationship would be sporadic or inconsistent, I am unwilling to pursue it.

I can't put bars on my insides
I cannot control my emotions or restrain the depth of my feelings for you, despite the potential pain that may result.

My love is something I can't hide
My feelings for you are too strong and genuine to keep a secret, even if it leaves me vulnerable.

It still hurts when I recall the times I've cried
Revisiting emotional pain from past experiences still causes me emotional distress.

Take my hand and pull me down
I am willing to let you lead me down whatever romantic path you choose to take.

I won't put up any fight
I will not resist your advances or seek to assert my own desires in this relationship.

Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance
I would rather observe you from afar and maintain my own emotional distance than risk being hurt by false promises or expectations.

Because when you're near, I find it hard to keep my head
Being near you causes me to become overwhelmed with emotion and lose my sense of clarity or perspective.

And when your eyes throw light at mine
When our eyes meet, the intensity of the moment is almost overwhelming.

It's enough to change my mind
The sheer power of your presence is enough to alter my mood or perspective on the situation.

Make me leave my cautious words and ways behind
Your presence makes me more open and vulnerable, causing me to abandon my usual reluctance or hesitation.

Say you want me, I'll come running
If you express a desire for me, I am willing to pursue a deeper relationship with you and will be fully invested.

Without taking time to think
I am willing to abandon caution or rational thinking in order to chase the possibility of love with you.
