They Call Her Easy

They Call Her Easy - Harry Chapin

It was just another night I was out on a limb

Looking for someone to help me back in

A couple of hours of cruising around

Brought me into a bar and I sat me down

Nothing much to be found

So I got into talking to the old bar man

He said You got a problem I can understand

And I know a little lady who is all alone

If you find her she will take you home

She don't like to spend her nights alone

They call her Easy

They used say it's not a way for a body to be

They call her Easy

She is giving out her love for free

I found her on the street like the bartender said

She was not great looking but not that bad

I walked on up to her and didn't say a word

But my eyes were talking and I think she heard

Yes she heard me

We walked down the road to a rundown farm

She lit a couple candles and she held out her arms

Lord she was gentle as a windblown sigh

In the morning while dressing I could hear her cry

She was crying and I went flying out of there

They call her Easy

They used to say it's not a way for a body to be

They call her Easy

She is giving out her love for free

The next day found me walking in town

Saw the old bartender and I flagged him down

I thanked him for the girl and told him that she pleased me

And laughed a little bit about how she was easy

But the old man stopped me with the look in his eye

He said You know I had hoped you weren't that kind of guy

Oh dream of the kind of world it could be

If we were free with our love like Easy

It's a hard world we must learn to be easy

In a cold cold world I must love the ones who please me

Easy

They call her Easy

They used to say it's not a way for a body to be

They call her Easy

She is giving out her love for free

Oh they call her Easy

They used to say it's not a way for a body to be

They call her Easy

Well she is giving out her love for free

Oh they call her Easy

They used to say it's not a way for a body to be

They call her Easy
