Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl, you know I've done all I can
See I begged, stole and I borrowed, yeah
[Chorus]
So I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy, so easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Sing it for me, Willie
[Verse 2]
Why in the world would anybody wanna put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it
[Chorus]
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy, so easy
That's why I'm easy like Sunday morning
[Bridge]
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free, just me, oh, baby
[Chorus]
That's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Whoa, that's why I'm easy, so easy
Yes, I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
Whoa
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Whoa, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy, so easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Morning
Morning
Morning
[Outro]
Thank you, Willie
Yeah, thank you
