Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Easy come, easy go, that's the way
If love must have it's day, then
As it came, let it go

No, no remorse, no regrets
We should part exactly as we met
Just easy come, easy go
We never dreamt of romantic dangers
But now that it ends, let's be friends
And not two strangers

Easy come, easy go, here we are




So darling au revoir
It's easy come, easy go
