Şarkı sözleri : Thelma Houston. To Make It Easier On You.

It's a game, at times quite realistic
But a game all the same
Somebody wins and somebody loses
It all depends on whoever chooses
To take it most seriously

But none of this matters to you, babe
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you

For you don't know if I'm
Only going through the motions
To make it easier for you, babe
When you decide it's over

It's a play not written very well
But it's a play anyway
Someone's a hero and someone's the villain
It all depends on whoever's willing
To give themselves unselfishly

But none of this matters to you, babe
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you

For you don't know if I'm
Only going through the motions
To make it easier for you, babe
When you decide it's over

We walk the laughing way
Pretending not to feel
Pretending it's not real
And we don't matter either way

At least that's what I say
To give you no excuse
To tremble us before you need to
To make sure when you do
You won't know that, I need you

It's a show
Not always entertaining
But a show even so

Someone's a star and someone's a stand-in
Some have their handouts
Some have their hand-ins
And some people need both hands free

But none of this matters to you, babe
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you

You don't know if I'm
Only going through the motions
To make it easier for you, babe
When you decide it's over

I'm gonna try to make it
Easier for you, baby
When you decide it's all over

If I could say a gentle word
To make the inevitable passing of our love
Seem a little less final

Knowing that the heart can't help growing colder
If I could bear the pain and bitterness of our last goodbye
And let you remember the first sweet hello
It would make it all worthwhile for me

If I could just
Make it easier for you, babe
I wanna make it easier for you
Yes, I do

So you can just tell everybody everywhere
I'm gonna try to make it easier for you
I ain't gonna shed some tears, baby, no, no
When you walk through that door
I ain't gonna cry, no, no
I'm gonna make it easier for you
