Lyrics
Upbeat Version
Worn out on conversation
I'm just sitting in my car
I need a new direction
One that takes me far
Maybe starting over
Daydreams of a brand new life
on my own where I'm nobody's wife
Radio plays "take it easy"
And if I don't I'm gonna blow
So I'm gonna sit here till I'm calmer
I got no where else to go
I give you all I have to offer
But it's never quite enough
But what was I to do
You make it too hard to say no
That weekend at the ocean
Bay windows and four poster bed
Your iron grip around me
And your pretty words all in my head
You promised you'd forgive me
For everything you had to do
So I signed across the dotted line
and I gave myself to you
Radio played "take it easy"
But we didn't take anything slow
Crazy whirwind of emotions
Made it easy to let go
I hadn't planned to stay the night
But you said it was alright
let the record show
You made it too hard to say no
At least I never cheated
At least I never lied
and I bottled up my feelings
Kept em deep in side
This ain't love we're living in
I'm just your trophy on a chain
But you can't hold me anymore
I won't be owned again
Radio plays "take it easy"
But it's too late to take it slow
Couldn't listen anymore, love
Time is up, I've got to go
and my memory's kinda foggy
But there is one thing I know
When you asked if I was leaving
you made it too hard to say no
