Easy Easy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′re playin' center court tonight
And if you fall there's nothing bad to be upset about
Just know I won′t be by your side
As a return you start to play into my weaker wing
I try to serve a hundred miles
And if you wanna try again and shake my hand at times
Forget the umpires call
You shoot it out, all your fault
Not over deuce, game to love
You wipe my ass off the court
In the song "Tennis" by Easy Easy, the lyrics delve into a metaphorical game of tennis to depict a tumultuous relationship. The opening line, "Fuck Bobby Riggs because you're Billie Jean King playin' on," references the famous tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, highlighting the power dynamics within the relationship. The line suggests that the singer sees their partner as a dominant force, akin to Billie Jean King's strength and prowess on the tennis court.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the competitive nature of the relationship, with lines like "As a return you start to play into my weaker wing" and "I try to serve a hundred miles." These lines convey the struggle to meet the expectations and challenges set by the partner. The mention of shaking hands at times signifies a truce or attempting to reconcile, but it is undermined by the subsequent line, "It's so bizarre you're wearing white." This suggests that the partner's actions may contradict their seemingly innocent or pure intentions.
The chorus of the song, "Forget the umpires call, You shoot it out, all your fault, Not over deuce, game to love, You wipe my ass off the court," implies that the singer feels defeated and powerless in the relationship. They feel unimportant, as if their partner has complete control over the outcome. The mention of the umpire also alludes to external judgments or opinions affecting the relationship, further contributing to the complexity and strain within.
