Al Kooper - Easy Does It lyrics

Kooper

When I was just a young boy
Ya know my father said to me
When ya get a little older son
Ya got to live your life casually
Ya got to take things real slow-like
If you really wanna last
You only live once in this life
Can't live your life too fast

EASY DOES IT, baby eASY DOES IT everytime
Well now that I'm a little wiser
EASY DOES IT with this life of mine

When I grew a little older
I started noticin' the female sex
With their foxy little bodies
And their long and shapely legs
So I got me a little woman
And I took her home to my bed
I said "How about it, baby?"
And this is what she said - she said:

EASY DOES IT, baby eASY DOES IT everytime
Well now that I'm a little wiser
EASY DOES IT with this life of mine
Now ya gotta listen to me everybody
Cause ya know the same applies to you
When everything is over
Ya know the name of the game is you
It don't pay to be impulsive
But it ain't too bad to hesitate
Just like the old saying goes
Good things come to those who wait

EASY DOES IT, baby eASY DOES IT everytime
Well now that I'm a little wiser
EASY DOES IT with this life of mine
