Duke Ellington
Take Love Easy
[MACHEATH]
Take love easy, easy, easy
Never let your feelings show
Make it breezy, breezy, breezy
Easy come and easy go
Never smile too brightly, brightly
When your heart is riding high
Let your heart break oh so slightly
When your baby says goodbye
That well-known flame is mighty hot
As all of us have learned
So handle it with velvet gloves
Or you might get your fingers burned
Take love easy, easy, easy
On the free and easy plan
And if you can't take it easy
Takе it easy as you can
Keep love simple, sweet and simplе
Never, never agonize
Dig no deeper than a dimple
That's my warning to the wise
If to love you're dedicated
Don't you ever give your all
Keep your kisses insulated
Or you're headed for a fall
Romance is just a sucker's game
That only fools believe
For Mother Nature stacks the deck
So slip some aces up your sleeve
And take love easy, easy, easy
On the free and easy plane
And if you can't take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy as you can
