Easy People lyrics

We sat around the table and drank a bottle of wine
And it poured around us like a moat till no one could get us, and I was fine
And I said, `Haven`t I paid my dues by now, haven`t I paid my dues by now
Haven`t I paid my dues by now, don`t I get the right to choose?
And I choose you to take up all of my time
I choose you because you`re funny and kind
I want easy people from now on`

Chorus
Easy people
Easy people

My house is full of empty rooms and broken frames and other people`s stuff
In my house we see by Christmas lights and your TV, and that seems to be enough
To see what we want to see
You let me be who I want to be
And we`ll be easy from now on, from now on

Chorus

Why can`t I be easy, why can`t I be easy like you?

For you I would give the songs I write, the words I pray, the morning light
That pumps into this room today, if you would only rise, if you would only say
`I want you, you take up all of my time
I want you because you`re funny and kind
And we`ll be easy from now on, from now on`

Chorus
