When the going gets rough
And it's hard to look into my eyes, oh-oh
You wanna run away, run away, run away
And just say goodbye
Why don't you open up?
You find it easier to tell me a lie, oh no
You wanna break away, break away, break away
But don't even try
Listen boy, didn't I show how to love? Oh-oh
What were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about
You ain't some kid no more
And I think it's time that you get wise, oh yeah
You're not a runaway, runaway, runaway
Trying to hide
You can't come running back
Every time you get a bit insecure, oh no
Just to break away, break away, break away
When you had the cure
Listen boy, didn't I show you how to love? Oh-oh
What were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about
You know that I love you
You know that I think the world of you
You know that I love you
And maybe that's worth holding on to, oh-oh-oh
And listen boy, didn't I show you how to love? Oh-oh
What were you thinking of?
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
That's not what love's all about
Oh no
That's the easy way out
That's the easy way out
And that's not what love's all about
