Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gosh almighty, baby
Yes, indeed
You supply the satisfy
And I'll supply the need
I can't help the way I feel
Though I know just where it leads
[Verse 2]
You make it easy
Yes, you do
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
[Verse 3]
Now, Heaven knows I love my woman
We're just bound to fuss and fight
And I wind up on the barroom stool
Buying drinks and keeping tight
But you know that I've never done
What's come in my mind tonight
[Verse 4]
You make it easy
Just sitting there looking good
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
[Verse 5]
Now me and my wife
We've got the rest of our life
To make this thing right
But you and me will only see tonight
[Verse 6]
So, baby, won't you turn me down
And point me out the door
Well, I'll head home and sleep it off
Just like every time before
You keep on lookin' good my way
I won't hold out anymore
[Verse 7]
You make it easy, yeah
You sure do make it easy, baby
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
[Verse 8]
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
No, no, no
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
For another wise good man to fall
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
For another wise good man to fall
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
No, no
You don't have to make it so easy, baby
For a man to fall
