Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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! (yeah)
Ooh that's why I'm easy
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!
Ooh 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! Whoa, oh! Babe!
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, whoa
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning, yeah
'Cause I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

You know I've done all I can

Ooh that's why I'm easy
That is the reason why I am relaxed
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I wonder what benefits someone would get by restricting me
I've paid my dues to make it
I worked hard to achieve my success
Everybody wants me to be
Everyone desires me to become
What they want me to be
Whatever they intend me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it! no!
I become miserable when I try to act artificially
I wanna be high, so high
I aspire to reach great heights
I wanna be free to know
I want the freedom to comprehend
The things I do are right
That my actions are morally correct

I desire to be independent
Just me! Whoa, oh! Babe!

That's why I remain relaxed

Cause I'm easy
For I am unpretentious
Easy like Sunday morning
As relaxed as a Sunday morning
