I can’t get excited, I’m rarely delighted
Life’s not arousing, I’m kind o’ drowsing.
Love I can take or leave alone
That old feelin’ to me is unknown.
I’m a doubting Thomas. (You don’t mean it.)
Love is just a promise. (Have you seen it?)
Let the others reap it, I keep it.
Easy come, easy go. (You ain’t really livin’, baby!)
Love is merely mental, (Who you fool-in?)
Kisses only dental, (Then stop drool-in’)
I prefer it lightly, politely,
Easy come, easy go (You’re not hittin’ the bell, Jack!)
Floating, no real emoting,
Floating night time
I’m fancy free,
That’s me!
Trouble is that laughter (Quit that grinnin’)
Leaves me nothin’ after. (You ain’t winnin’?)
So I must confess it,
I guess it’s high time to get me a glow
That won’t become easy come, easy go.
