Take it easy lovin' me Don't start thinkin' I'm something that I'll never be Just need me, oh, yeah, as much as need be Take it easy, easy, lovin' me Many's the woman who's cried herself crazy at night Over some kind of a man who she says ain't treatin' her right Expectin' of someone is quick to be takin' its toll And if you're not careful, you'll wake up lonely and old Take it easy, easy, lovin' me Don't start thinking I'm somethin' that I'll never be Just need me as much as need be Take it easy, easy, lovin' me Now dreamin' and plannin' are things I guess all of us do And sooner or later, we all play the part of a fool But those in a hurry to unpack their bag full of dreams Are quick to be victims of the lies and lusts and the schemes Take it easy lovin' me Don't start thinkin' I'm something that I'll never be Just need me, oh yeah baby, As much as need be Take it easy lovin' me Take it easy lovin' me
