Easy Lover
Phil Collins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see
She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it
No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see
You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
Better forget it
You'll never get it
Oh, she'll say that there's no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it
And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh, seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh
She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover)
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
She's like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see, yeah)
She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
And like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it

Line by Line Meaning
Easy lover
This girl is incredibly easy to fall in love with
She'll get a hold on you believe it
She will captivate your heart and your attention
Like no other
There is no one else like her
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
You will be completely under her spell
She's an easy lover
She is someone who is easy to love, but also easy to lose
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She will steal your heart without you even realizing it
And I'm just trying to make you see
I'm warning you about her true nature, so you don't get hurt
She will play around and leave you
She will toy with your emotions and abandon you
Leave you and deceive you
She will trick you into thinking she cares, but it's all a facade
Better forget it
It's best to move on and forget about her
Oh you'll regret it
If you don't, you will only come to regret it later
You're the one that wants to hold her
You are the one who desires her the most
Hold her and control her
You want to possess her and control her every move
For she'll say there's no other
She will make you believe that no one else compares to her
Till she finds another
Until she moves on to someone else
No you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
You cannot change who she is, so it's best to let go and move on
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
Leave now before it's too late, because actions speak louder than words
It's the only way
You have to see it with your own eyes to truly understand
You'll never get it
You will never win her over or earn her love
And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
There is no point in trying to change her ways, just move on
You're not the only one, cause seeing is believing
Others have been in your shoes and realized the truth by seeing it for themselves
She's like no other
She is unique and different from anyone else you've ever met
She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover)
She is someone who is easy to love, but also easy to lose
She's like no other
There is no one else like her
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
I'm warning you about her true nature, so you don't get hurt

Allah did not forbid music. This is a complete fabrication. There is no such ruling in the Holy Qur'an. Music is a wonderful gift from Allah to people. Those who want to discredit Islam fabricate such lies in the name of the Prophet Muhammad.
Аллах не запрещал музыку. Это полная выдумка. В Священном Коране такого постановления нет. Музыка - прекрасный дар от Аллах. Те, кто хочет дискредитировать ислам, используют имя Пророка Мухаммеда, чтобы сфабриковать такую ложь.
Allah no prohibió la música. Esta es una fabricación completa. No existe tal regla en el Sagrado Corán. La música es un regalo maravilloso de Allah para las personas. Aquellos que quieren desacreditar al Islam inventan tales mentiras en nombre del Profeta Muhammad.
لم يمنع الله الموسيقى. هذا تلفيق كامل. لا يوجد مثل هذا الحكم في القرآن الكريم. الموسيقى هدية رائعة من الله للناس. أولئك الذين يريدون تشويه سمعة الإسلام يختلقون مثل هذه الأكاذيب باسم النبي محمد.
Allah müziği yasaklamamıştır. Bu tamamen uydurmadır. Kutsal Kitabımız Kuranı-Kerim'de Allah'ın böyle bir emri yoktur. Müzik Yüce Allah'ın insanlara lütfettiği güzel bir nimettir. İslam'ı bilerekten gözden düşürmek isteyenler hz.Muhammed Peygamberin adını kullanarak böyle yalanlar uyduruyorlar.
