Tina Turner, Angélique Kidjo - Easy as Life lyrics
[Tina Turner, Angélique Kidjo - Easy as Life lyrics]
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this 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 and myself consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's 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 content of the
Familiar kind of start
It's easy, it's 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 allies and
In the pantheon above
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this 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 and myself consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's 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 content of the
Familiar kind of start
It's easy, it's 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 allies and
In the pantheon above
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy
