Take It Easy (Love Nothing)
First with your hands, then with your mouthA downpour of sweat, damp cotton cloudsI was a fool, you were my friendWe made it happenYou took off your clothes, left on the lightYou stood there so brave, you used to be shyEach feature improved, each movement refinedAnd eyes like a showroom
Now they're spreading out the blankets on the beachOh that weatherman's a liar, he said it'd be rainingBut it's clear and blue as far as I can see
Left by the lamp, right next to the bedOn a cartoon cat pad she scratched with pen"Everything is as it's always been,This never happened"
"Don't take it too bad, it's nothing you didIt is just once something dies, you can't make it liveYou're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kidBut I am a woman"
So I laid back down, wrapped myself up in the sheetAnd I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened meAnd since then I've been so good at vanishing
Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teethSomeone might get hurt, but it won't be meI should probably feel cheap, but I just feel freeAnd a little bit empty
No it isn't so hard to get close to meThere will be no arguments, we'll always agreeAnd I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leaveWe'll both take it easy
But if you stay too long inside my memoryI will trap you in a song tied to a melodyAnd I'll keep you there so you can't bother me
