Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
I never regret the years that I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do, whatever I do for you
For you, maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People will say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand, they just don't understand
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
The song "Easy Living" by Jones Etta is a classic American jazz ballad that explores the wonders of being in love. The lyrics of the song start with "Living for you is easy living" which means nothing seems difficult when you are in love with someone. It goes on to say that it is easy to live when you are in love with someone, and that the singer is so in love that there is nothing else in the world but the person they love. The singer expresses that they don't regret the years they are giving to their lover because when you are in love, it's easy to give all you have.
The chorus continues with a declaration of love and how it's easy to live when you are in love with someone. The bridge expresses how people might think that the lover controls the singer's life, but the singer sees it as a joyous experience that others might not understand. The lyrics also suggest that some people might consider the singer to be foolish for their love but, for them, it's a fun and wonderful experience. It all concludes with the confirmation of love and the ease of life when in it.
