Take It Easy

(앨범: Easy - 1974)

I took a little day trip, found myself in France
Heard that stuff about the Paris gals and thought I'd take a chance
Wound up in a sidewalk bar, turning a lady's head
When she agreed to go with me, why to myself I said:

"Don't you know, didn't you go, if you give me half a chance
I'll be back on a steamboat, mama, gonna make it back to France
Well, you gotta take it easy, but you take it if you're gonna find romance"

All you need is a couple of drinks, that's what the lady said
All you gotta have is a "verre" or two of wine, and you're much more fun in bed
I was young and inexperienced, but I gave her my all
I woke up with an aching head and read this note on the wall:

"Don't you know, I had to go, I swear I give you half a chance
Well, you take it easy, but you take it that's the way we do it in France
Well, you gotta take it easy, but you take it if you gonna find romance"

I learned a lesson or two that night several the next day
Like how a man should carry himself when he goes far away
In spite of it all I'm happy you can call me a crazy fool
But I got a lesson or two that night I could never have got at school

Don't you know, don't you know you gotta take the chance
I'm going back on the steamboat, mama, gonna make it back to France
Well, you gotta take it easy, but you take it If you're gonna find romance
If you're gonna find ro
If you're gonna find ro
If you're gonna find romance
