You contend 
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 
'Cause 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
