Courtney you contend that you'll never got back to her again you're as free as a night without end so you tell your friends just what you had to endure when you told her never, never again and as the room about you starts to bend you pretend that you've taken the easy way out though you know ehn you told her last night you were fakin' the easy way out with one hand reachin' fo the door but your feet weren't movin' they were nailed to the floor as she told you once more there's no easy way to get out she's not like you she'd rather stay at home 'n' not get the blues and if you ever do try to intrude she's so respectfully rude so it was hard to believe last night while you were drunk 'n' threatening to leave that she walked through the door with such ease 'n' threw you the key and she's takin' the easy way out and you're alone with no number to call she's taken the easy way out with one hand reachin' for the door and you so speechless marooned on the floor she walked out of your life couldn't stand it no more now you're all on your own 'cos she's taken the easy way out you know she's taken the easy way out oh, but your pride will only admit to a lie yeah, she's taken the easy way out but, to your friends you're the hero of the night drowning with beef all the tears in your eyes hopin' it don't show that you're dyin' inside 'cause you can't quite believe that she's taken the easy way out there's no goin' back now stuck here on your own lookin' for a home drunk and on the streets stuck on your feet
