Ohhh
We started out as the greatest romance of the twentieth century
But that burning love that I once felt, well, its ancient history
He used to really do something to me
But somewhere, something went wrong
(Something went wrong)
Lord, its hard to tell your lover that the love you once had is gone
Well, I searched the words of wise men
(Well, I searched the words of wise men)
Put my ear to the ground
(Put my ear to the ground)
But there aint no easy way to let your lover down
(There ain't no easy way to let your lover down)
No, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
(Ain't no easy way to let your lover down)
Aint no easy way to let your lover down
You know we started out like a house on fire
But the fire soon burned itself out and now all thats left in the smoldering ashes is misery and doubt
(Misery and doubt)
All along Ive been telling him that he is the only one
(The only one)
How do I tell him that what I felt, well, its all over and done?
Over and done
Well, I searched the words of wise men
(I searched the words of wise men)
I put my ear to the ground
(I put my ear to the ground)
But there aint no easy way to let your lover down
But there aint no easy way to let your lover down
No, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
No, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
Sock it to me
Owwww
Oh yeah
I was so sure that I found it this time
He was going to give me his name
Ohhh, but in the morning when were making love, baby
It just dont feel the same
He was quite a lover when we started
A regular Romeo
(A regular Romeo)
Lord, I wish there was an easy way
Lord, I wish there was an easy way
But one of us has got to go
Well, I searched the words of wise men
Well, I searched the words of wise men
(Well I searched the words of wise men)
Put my ear to the ground
Put my ear to the ground
But, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
But, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
No, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
No, there aint no easy way to let your lover down
