Easy Tiger

[Verse 1] Her and I met in 85' Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes It was bright but it don't burn anymore Nothing'll change come Christmas time You can stay where you want at night Just promise when love comes knocking you'll answer the door [Chorus] Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Don't blame your mother, 'least we tried People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life [Verse 2] The machine beeps less frequently They've gone to find out what that means It was months, now it may only be hours They say, "Ma'am, your son was far from a coward Damn near first one into the tower" Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers [Chorus] Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life A lovely mother left behind People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm [Verse 3] "At least you know you loved the boy That's why you feel your world destroyed" His father replied from the other side of the door Not his area of expertise, no plenty-of-fish analogies He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport" [Chorus] Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Another lover you'll come to find People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you All the damn time
