Takin' the shade out of the sun
Whatever made me think that I was number one?
I oughta know, easy come, easy go
Sittin' it out, spinnin' the dial
Thinkin' about the chump I 've been I have to smile
Didn't I know, easy come, easy go
She wasn't kind, I wasn't smart
I lost my mind and fell apart
I had to find myself in time 
Now I can start all over again
Hangin' around, takin' it slow
Happy I found I still can smile and dig the show
Lettin' me know, easy come easy go
 
Takin' the shade out of the sun
Whatever made me think that I was number one?
I oughta know, easy come, easy go
Sittin' it out, spinnin' the dial
Thinkin' about the chump I 've been I have to smile
Didn't I know, easy come, easy go
She wasn't kind, I wasn't smart
I lost my mind and fell apart
I had to find myself in time 
Now I can start all over again
Hangin' around, takin' it slow
Happy I found I still can smile and dig the show
Lettin' me know, easy come easy go
 
Hangin' around, takin' it slow
Happy I found I still can smile and dig the show
Lettin' me know, easy come easy go
Hangin' around, takin' it slow
Happy I found I still can smile and dig the show
Lettin' me know, easy come easy go
Hangin' around, takin' it slow
Happy I found I still can smile and dig the show
Lettin' me know, easy come easy go
