If Leavin' Was Easy

(앨범: Too Many Times - 1986)

Between morning and evening working and sleeping
And feeling confused
She got stuck on the highway in the 5:00 traffic
Missed the 6:00 news

She said I just saw him out there with some girl from somewhere
They were feeling just fine
Was he too tired for love like he said he was
Or just biding time

She said if leaving was easy I'd be gone
Doing what he's done all along
Cause tonight I need to be loved more than anything else
And if it'd been easy I wouldn't be gone
I'd be better off to be on my own
Than living for someone who only lives for themselves

She's got a front row seat with cable TV
For her life's the screen
When she oughta be dancing instead of romancing
Yesterday's dream

She took to the limit all that was in it
But watching it end
And remember tonight of some old flame
She'd love to get wound up again

She said if leaving was easy I'd be gone
Doing what he's done all along
Cause tonight I need to be loved more than anything else
And if it'd been easy I wouldn't be gone
I'd be better off to be on my own
Than living for someone who only lives for themselves
