When the going gets rough
And it's hard to look into my eyes, whoa
You wanna run away, run away, and just say goodbye
Why don't you open up? You find it easier to tell me a lie
Whoa no
You wanna break away, break away, break away but don't even try
Listen, boy, didn't I show you how to love?
Whoa oh, what were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about
You ain't some kid no more
And I think it's time that you get wise, oh yeah
You're not a runaway, runaway, runaway tryin' to hide
You can't come runnin' back every time you feel a bit insecure
Oh no
Just to break away, break away, break away when you had the cure
Listen, boy, didn't I show you how to love?
Whoa oh, what were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about
You know that I love you
You know that I think the world of you
You know that I love you
And baby, that's worth holding on to
Oh oh oh
Listen, boy, didn't I show you how to love?
Whoa oh, what were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about, oh no
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
And that's not what love's all about
