It's easy to love when I love someone like you
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love don't come easy and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me

It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
But that's the way that you shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the sole of my feet to the top of the sky
 
It's easy to love when I love someone like you
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love don't come easy and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
 
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Oh and I do, babe
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Oh and I do, babe
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It's easy to love
It's easy to love
