Once we tried to change the world
Whenever it was there to cross our way, one day
Fortune left, but I went on
And ev'rything I had to do was done, I can't run

Life would be wonderful if you could be here too
And took your place again beside me
But since you told your dreams to hide
And fortune found another place to stay
You choose to live your life the easy way

You're seen in bars, expensive cars
With girls around you, they have found your style, worth while
But style is one way, concerns another
Only lovers know what love's about, to live without

And I'm telling you there's more than drinking wine
You'll be longing for some tenderness sometimes

If you don't mind what I go through
I'm telling you there's nothing left to stay
Go on, live your life the easy way
