its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
What's a boy to do?
When you tell your tale
And it never fails
I just end up feeling bad for you
With your hang-dog eyes
You can bring me down
Now I'm wrapped around your whole hand
Stop looking so surprised
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
I've been burned before
You're not fooling me
There's no mystery
You've forgotten what you're hiding for
Call it self defense
You can obfuscate
And manipulate
But it's only at your own expense
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Easy to be with you
Easy to obey
Easy to forgive you at the end of the day
Easy now to judge you
Easy to betray
Easy to adore you though you want to run away
It's easy
Look what you have done
I can do the same
Two can play this game
You'll no longer be the only one
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Easy (Easy)
When you tell your tale
And it never fails
I just end up feeling bad for you
With your hang-dog eyes
You can bring me down
Now I'm wrapped around your whole hand
Stop looking so surprised
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
I've been burned before
You're not fooling me
There's no mystery
You've forgotten what you're hiding for
Call it self defense
You can obfuscate
And manipulate
But it's only at your own expense
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Easy to be with you
Easy to obey
Easy to forgive you at the end of the day
Easy now to judge you
Easy to betray
Easy to adore you though you want to run away
It's easy
Look what you have done
I can do the same
Two can play this game
You'll no longer be the only one
You make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Make it easy (Easy)
Easy (Easy)

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This has to be one of the WORST songs I've heard in a long, long time. I can't even think about the meaning of this, because of the unbelievable repetitivness of the the chorus. Seriously, how many times does he say "make it easy" in this song - 40 times? 50 times? I just can't stand songs where they just give up trying to write decent lyrics. If you can't use your imagination, make it an instrumental song!
droidac, the only reason u have given for this song being bad is that it repeats itself at the chorus (what a rookie mistake eh?) and that the lyrics aren't up to your personal standard, if u listened to most of the crap found in the top 100 u would find much worse songs to criticise for their lyrical content than this as well as most songs being nowhere near as good as 'easy' musically, so unless u have a valid reason for a song as good as this being "one of the worst songs i've heard in a long, long time" i suggest u go write better lyrics or go fuck yourself
