Ain't No Easy Way

Ohhh we started out as the greatest romance of the twentieth century
But that burning love
that I once felt, well, it's ancient history
He used to really do something to me
But somewhere, something went wrong

Lord it's hard to tell your lover that the love you once had is gone
Well, I searched the words of wise men
Put my ear to the ground
But there ain't no easy way to let your lover down
No, there ain't no easy way to let your lover down

(You know we started out like a house on fire
But the fire soon burned itself out
and now all that's left
the smoldering in the ashes is a misery and doubt)

All along I've been telling him that he is the only one
How do I tell him that what I felt, well, it's all over and done?
Well, I searched the words of wise men
I put my ear to the ground
But there ain't no easy way to let your lover down
No, there ain't no easy way to let your lover down

I was so sure that I found it this time
He was going and give me his name

(Ohhh, but in the morning when we're making love, baby
It just don't feel the same)
He was quite a lover when we started
A regular Romeo
Lord, I wish there was an easy way
But one of us has got to go

Well, I searched the words of wise men
Put my ear to the ground
But, there ain't no easy way to let your lover down
No, there ain't no easy way to let your lover down

No, no, no, no
Ain't no easy way to let your lover down
There ain't no easy way to let your lover down
Ain't no easy way to let your lover down
Let me tell ya that there ain't no easy way to let your lover down
Aha
Ain't no easy way (to let you down).
