Go Easy Lyrics

Looking at me you'll never find out
What a working man's about
Raving all night, sleeping away the day
Something to ask, something to say
Something to keep the pain away
Something I'd like to see if it's alright
Life, go easy on me
Love, don't pass me by

Spending my time, making it shine
Gonna throw away the rest
Look at the ways to bend and amaze my mind
Something I need, something I plea for
Something I have to say
Something to keep me safe while I'm away
Life, go easy on me
Love, don't pass me by
Life, go easy on me
Love, don't pass me by

One way for me, one way for you
One way for all of us
To get back home, do whatever we want to do
Nothing to tell you, nothing to show
Nothing that you don't know
Something to play, something to say for now
Life, go easy on me
Love, don't pass me by
Life, go easy on me
Love, don't pass me by

Love, don't pass me by
Love, don't pass me by
Love, don't pass me by

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Go Easy lyrics by John Martyn

A simple expression of the need for an easy life with a few possible drug references thrown in. The song has a faint aroma of marijuana.
