as genuinely stupefy as it may seem

sometimes taking it easy

well that's the hardest thing of all

you say that everything is easy

but you don't want easy anymore

you say that everything is simple

but you don't want simple knocking at your door

you borrow trouble each and every day

and that's a mighty price to pay

you pace the hallway each and every night

and you know that just ain't right

you borrow trouble each and every day

and that's a mighty price to pay

you pace the hallway each and every night

and you know that just ain't right

you know you ought to take it easy

but the price so easy is so so dear

you find no peace of mind from easy

'cause the price of easy is a pool of tears
