Lyrics:
Easy lover, she'll get a hold on you, believe it
She's like no other, before you know it, you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover, she'll take your heart, but you won't feel it
She's like no other, and I'm just trying to make you see
She's the kind of girl you dream of, dream of getting hold of
You'd better forget it, you'll never get it
Cos she'll play around and leave you, leave you and deceive you
You'd better forget it, ooh, you'll regret it
Now don't try to change it, just leave it, just leave it
Get out quick, 'cos seein' is believin'
It's the only way she'll ever know
She's an easy lover, she'll get a hold on you, believe it
She's like no other, before you know it, you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover, she'll take your heart, but you won't feel it
She's like no other, and I'm just trying to make you see
You're the one who wants to hold her, hold her and control her
You'd better forget it - I can't forget it, no - you'll never get it
Cos she'll say that there's no other, till she finds another
You'd better forget it - oh no, no, no, no, no - you will regret it
Listen here
Now don't try to change it, just leave it, just leave it
You're not the only one and seein' is believin'
It's the only way she'll ever know, aha
(On the electric guitar, ladies and gentlemen, mr. Daryl Stuermer)
(Solo)
Don't try to change it, just leave it, just leave it
You're not the only one and seein' is believin'
It's the only way she'll ever know
She's an easy lover - she's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
She's like no other, before you know it, you'll be on your knees
(You'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover, she'll take your heart, but you won't feel it
(You won't feel it, no no)
She's like no other - yeah - I'm just trying to make you see
(I'm trying to make you see, oh yeah)
She's an easy lover, she'll get a hold on you, believe it
(Oh, you'd better believe it)
She's like no other, and I'm just trying to make you see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah!
