Lyrics:

1983 album You're Not Leavin' Here Tonight
Writers: Larry Kingston, Harlan Sanders

I wish there was a way to love a lot,
And only hurt a little when love lets you down
I wish there was a way to love and run,
And not find the hurt behind you when you turn around
But I guess I know why love's the way it is,
I think I know why love is such a game of hit and miss

CHORUS:
If it was easy, everyone would do it
If it was easy, everyone would be in love
If it was easy, I'd be the first to do it
If it was easy, I'd gladly go back through it
If it was easy, everyone would be in love

I wish love was a part that you could play,
And then just walk away when the curtain falls
I wish that you could take it as it comes,
And leave it when it goes without a second thought
But I guess that's not the way it's meant to be
I try my best, but love just seems to get the best of me

CHORUS:
If it was easy, everyone would do it
If it was easy, everyone would be in love
If it was easy, I'd be the first to do it
If it was easy, I'd gladly go back through it
If it was easy, everyone would be in love

If it was easy, if it was easy
If it was easy, if it was easy
If it was easy, if it was easy...
