Easy As Life (tina Turner) Lyrics

This is the moment when the gods expect me

 To beg for help but I won't even try

 I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me

 But I won't lie down, roll over and die

 

 All I have to do is to forget how much I love him

 All I have to do is put my longing to one side

 Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation

 Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died

 

 

 It's easy, it's easy

 

 

 Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him

 And how he would have been were I to be with him today

 Tender in his manner _____ consolation

 All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

 

 

 It's easy, easy as life

 

 

 All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him

 On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart

 Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding

 Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start

 

 

 It's easy, it's easy

 

 

 Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him

 And how he would have been were I to be with him today

 Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming

 All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

 

 

 It's easy, it's easy as life

 

 

 And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people

 A father and a nation who won't let a coward run

 Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages

 Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done

 

 

 Are easy, so easy

 

 

 And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me

 And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love

 This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption

 Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above

 

 

 It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life
