It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking
It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure
It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me
When it's a love you won't be needing; you're not free

Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing
If you won't take the things you make me wanna give
I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane
You're not half as free to wander as you claim

But I'm easy, yeah I'm easy
Give the word I'll play your game
As though that's how it ought to be
'Cause I'm easy

Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me
If loving you would have to be a sometime thing
I can't put bars on my insides; my love is something I can't hide
It still hurts when I recall the times I've tried

But I'm easy, yeah I'm easy
Take my hand and pull me down
I won't put up any fight
'Cause I'm easy

Don't do me favours; let me watch you from a distance
'Cause when you're near I find it hard to keep my head
When your eyes throw light at mine, it's enough to change my mind
Make me leave my cautious words and ways behind

That's why I'm easy, yeah I'm easy
Say you want me I'll come running
Without taking time to think
'Cause I'm easy, yeah I'm easy

Take my hand and pull me down
I won't put up any fight
'Cause I'm easy, yeah I'm easy

Give the word I'll play your game
As though that's how it ought to be
'Cause I'm easy
