They Call Her Easy Lyrics


It was just another night, I was out on a limb
Looking for someone to help me back in
A couple of hours of cruising around
Brought me into a bar and I sat me down
Nothing much to be foundSo I got into talking to the old bar man
He said, "You got a problem, I can understand
And I know a little lady who is all alone
If you find her, she will take you home
She don't like to spend her nights alone"They call her Easy
They used say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her Easy
She is giving out her love for freeI found her on the street like the bartender said
She was not great looking but not that bad
I walked on up to her and didn't say a word
But my eyes were talking and I think she heard
Yes, she heard meWe walked down the road to a rundown farm
She lit a couple candles and she held out her arms
Lord, she was gentle as a windblown sigh

In the morning, while dressing, I could hear her cry
She was crying and I went flying out of thereThey call her Easy
They used to say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her Easy
She is giving out her love for freeThe next day found me walking in town
Saw the old bartender and I flagged him down
I thanked him for the girl and told him that she pleased me
And laughed a little bit about how she was easyBut the old man stopped me with the look in his eye
He said, "You know, I had hoped you weren't that kind of guy
Oh, dream of the kind of world it could be
If we were free with our love like Easy"It's a hard world, we must learn to be easy
In a cold, cold world, I must love the ones who please me
EasyThey call her Easy
They used to say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her Easy
She is giving out her love for freeOh, they call her Easy
They used to say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her Easy
Well, she is giving out her love for freeOh, they call her Easy
They used to say it's not a way for a body to be
They call her Easy

Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

In the mid 1970s, Chapin focused on social activism, including raising money to combat hunger in the United States and co-founding the organization World Hunger Year, before returning to music with On the Road to Kingdom Come. He also released a book of poetry, Looking...Seeing, in 1977.

His fellow Long Islanders loved him for his support of local artists, as well. He and his wife Sandy raised funds for the Performing Arts Foundation, a now-defunct local theatre group. They also supported the Long Island Ballet. The band shell at Huntington's Hecksher Park is named for Harry Chapin.

Chapin died on July 16, 1981 in an automobile accident on the Long Island Expressway at the age of 38. He was headed west from Huntington Bay, where he lived with his wife and three children, to perform a concert in Eisenhower Park in Nassau County when his car was struck by a truck. An autopsy showed that he had suffered a heart attack, but it could not be determined whether that occurred before or after the collision. Supermarkets General, the owner of the truck, paid $12 million in the ensuing litigation.
