They Call Her Easy Lyrics
It was just another night
I was out on a limb
Lookin' for someone
To help me back in
A couple of hours of cruisin' around
Brought me into a bar and I sat me down
Nothin' much to be found
So I got in
Talkin' to the old barman
He said, you've got a problem I can understand
And I know a little lady who is all alone
If you find her she will make you home
She don't like to spend her nights alone, oh
They call her easy
They say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She is givin' out her love for free
I found her on the street like the bartender said
She was not great looking but not that bad
I walked on up to her and didn't say a word
But my eyes were talkin' and I think she heard
Yeah she heard me
We walked down the road to a run-down farm
She lit a couple candles and she held out her arms
Lord, she was as gentle as a windblown sigh
In the morning while dressin' I could hear her cry
She was cryin', and I went flyin' out of there
They call her easy
They say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She is givin' out her love for free
The next day found me walkin' in town
Saw the old bartender and I flagged him down
I thanked him for the girl and told him that she pleased me
And laughed a little bit about how she was easy
But the old man stopped me with the look in his eye he said
You I had hoped you weren't that kind of guy
Oh, Dream of the kind of world it could be
If we were free with our loves like Easy
It's a hard world
We must learn to be easy
In a cold, cold world
I must the love the ones who please me
Easy
They call her easy
Yes they say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She was givin' out her love for free
They call her easy
Yes they say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
'Cause she was givin' out her love for free
I was out on a limb
Lookin' for someone
To help me back in
A couple of hours of cruisin' around
Brought me into a bar and I sat me down
Nothin' much to be found
Talkin' to the old barman
He said, you've got a problem I can understand
And I know a little lady who is all alone
If you find her she will make you home
She don't like to spend her nights alone, oh
They say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She is givin' out her love for free
She was not great looking but not that bad
I walked on up to her and didn't say a word
But my eyes were talkin' and I think she heard
Yeah she heard me
She lit a couple candles and she held out her arms
Lord, she was as gentle as a windblown sigh
In the morning while dressin' I could hear her cry
She was cryin', and I went flyin' out of there
They say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She is givin' out her love for free
Saw the old bartender and I flagged him down
I thanked him for the girl and told him that she pleased me
And laughed a little bit about how she was easy
You I had hoped you weren't that kind of guy
Oh, Dream of the kind of world it could be
If we were free with our loves like Easy
We must learn to be easy
In a cold, cold world
I must the love the ones who please me
Easy
Yes they say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
She was givin' out her love for free
Yes they say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her easy
'Cause she was givin' out her love for free

The young man is looking for a girl to pick up, possibly a prostitute. The bartender senses he is a pretty decent guy, so he tells him about 'Easy', a local girl. The young man finds the young lady and they make love, but in the morning he hears her crying, and he just takes off. The young man was so anxious to be satisfied that he did not see the bartender's real reason for telling him about 'Easy'. The idea of love and warmth, which the bartender sensed both young people needed, was not reaized by the young man. He just didn't get it.
simple minds think easy = sleazy.that was his problem and the reason he misses out on a possible real connection but Easy will keep trying.
