Lyrics

Too Easy

(too easy, too easy...)

You were a beauty
So cool to the touch
Hiding a heart of fire

Ready for the action
I needed so much
Everything I desired

And wrapped up in leather
With me decked out blue
We'd walk through
The streets with ease

But I couldn't see
What I know now is true
You just need a second
To make a heart freeze

Chorus:
You were just too easy
Just too easy
Just too easy
Just too easy to squeeze

Then came the trouble
A kid on the streets
Couldn't have been more than fifteen

Robbin' a cradle
In the night heat
Only wish I hadn't seen

But I called out to him
To heed my command
As officer of the peace
Then I saw a quick flash
Of metal in his hand
And it just takes a second
To make a heart freeze

Chorus

Bridge:
I moved in slow motion
As I kneeled down
To look for the gun or the knife

But just a cigarette lighter
And blood on the ground
For a six-pack he paid with his life

Chorus
