Easy Tiger

Her and I met in 85'

Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes

It was bright, but it don't burn anymore

Nothing'll change come Christmas time

You can stay where you want at night

Just promise when love comes knocking, you'll answer the door

Easy, tiger, don't you cry

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

That's just the way of life

Don't blame your mother, least we tried

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

That's just the way of life

The machine beeps less frequently

They've gone to find out what that means

It was months, now it may only be hours

They say, "Ma'am your son was far from a coward

Damn near first one into the tower"

Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers

Easy, tiger, don't you cry

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

That's just the way of life

A lovely mother left behind

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

Wish that I could tell you why

"At least you know you loved the boy

That's why you feel your world destroyed"

His father replied from the other side of the door

Not his area of expertise, no plenty-of-fish analogies

He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport"

Easy, tiger, don't you cry

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

That's just the way of life

Another lover, you'll come to find

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

That's just the way of life

People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

Wish that I could tell you why

Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you

All the damn time
