Easy Lover

About Easy Lover

"Easy Lover" is a song performed by Philip Bailey, of Earth, Wind & Fire, and Phil Collins of Genesis and jointly written and composed by Bailey, Collins, and Nathan East (BMI adds Stacey Dove Daniels, Danny Ray Nixon and Olivia Pamela Roshell as co-owners of the rights). The song appeared on Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall. Collins has performed the song in his live concerts and it appears on both his 1990 album Serious Hits... Live! and his 1998 compilation album, ... Hits. The song was a No. 1 hit in several countries worldwide, including Canada, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. In the U. S., it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 2 February 1985, kept out of the top spot by "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner. In the UK Singles Chart, it reached No. 1, staying there for four weeks. The single sold over a million copies in the U. S. and was certified gold, as the RIAA requirement for a platinum single disc was not lowered to one million units until 1989. In addition, "Easy Lover" has been certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales of over 400,000 in the UK and platinum in Canada by Music Canada. The single did not receive a local release in Australia due to a dispute between Bailey's record company, CBS, and Collins' record company, WEA. As a result, it was only available through imports from New Zealand, which is the reason for its poor showing on the Australian charts. more »

Easy lover 
She'll get a hold on you believe it 
Like no other 
Before you know it you'll be on your knees 
She's an easy lover 
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it 
She's like no other 
And I'm just trying to make you see 

She's the kind of girl you dream of 
Dream of keeping hold of 
You'd better forget it 
You'll never get it 
She will play around and leave you 
Leave you and deceive you 
Better forget it 
Oh you'll regret it 

No you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it 
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing 
It's the only way 
You'll ever know 

Easy lover 
She'll get a hold on you believe it 
Like no other 
Before you know it you'll be on your knees 
She's an easy lover 
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it 
She's like no other 
And I'm just trying to make you see 

You're the one that wants to hold her 
Hold her and control her 
You'd better forget it 
You'll never get it 
For she'll say there's no other 
Till she finds another 
Better forget it 
Oh you'll regret it 

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it 
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing 
It's the only way 
You'll ever know, oh 

No don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it 
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing 
It's the only way 
You'll ever know, oh 

She's an easy lover
(She's a easy lover) 
She'll get a hold on you believe it 
(Get a hold on you) 
(She's) Like no other 
Before you know it you'll be on your knees 
(You'll be down on your knees) 
She's an easy lover 
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
(You won't feel it) 
She's like no other 
And I'm just trying to make you see
(Trying to make you see)
