that you'll never got back to her again
 you're as free as a night without end
 so you tell your friends
 just what you had to endure
 when you told her never, never again
 and as the room about you starts to bend
 you pretend

 that you've taken the easy way out
 though you know ehn you told her last night
 you were fakin' the easy way out
 with one hand reachin' fo the door
 but your feet weren't movin'
 they were nailed to the floor
 as she told you once more
 there's no easy way to get out

 she's not like you
 she'd rather stay at home
 'n' not get the blues
 and if you ever do try to intrude
 she's so respectfully rude
 so it was hard to believe
 last night while you were drunk 'n'
 threatening to leave
 that she walked through the door with such ease
 'n' threw you the key

 and she's takin' the easy way out
 and you're alone with no number to call
 she's taken the easy way out
 with one hand reachin' for the door
 and you so speechless
 marooned on the floor
 she walked out of your life
 couldn't stand it no more
 now you're all on your own
 'cos she's taken the easy way out

 you know she's taken the easy way out
 oh, but your pride will only admit to a lie
 yeah, she's taken the easy way out
 but, to your friends
 you're the hero of the night
 drowning with beef all the tears in your eyes
 hopin' it don't show that you're dyin' inside
 'cause you can't quite believe
 that she's taken the easy way out

 there's no goin' back now
 stuck here on your own
 lookin' for a home
 drunk and on the streets
 stuck on your feet
