So Easy Going, So Hard Coming Back - Millie Jackson

Mom, did you really mean all that

I mean after ten years

You’re gonna put the man on me

And make me take care of you and some other dude

Well I guess I really didn’t mean all of it

Its just that I let my pride run away with me for a few minutes

I’m sorry

But you see

It was so easy for you to say goodbye

I know you now realize that it was a mistake

But you took my heart

At least let me keep some pride for myself

Cause even now I would consider taking you back

But darling its the way you left

You just walked away

Without a word to say

It was easy

You just packed your clothes

Didn’t let me know

That you were leaving

Oh you got your hat

Coat thrown across your back

And just walked right on out the door

Oh but now you began to realize

That I’m not yours anymore

Now you find yourself trying to trace your track

Hey, hey, hey baby

Ooh lord

It was easy leaving me baby

So hard coming back

You played around

With all the girls in town like

It was nothing to it

All the time

I played dumb and blind

Oh darling you can bet I knew it

Yes I did

You broke my heart

Tore it all apart

And just laughed and went on your way

Oh but little did you realize

You’d want me back someday

Now you find yourself

Trying to trace your track

Yeah, yeah, yeah baby

It was easy leaving me baby

So hard coming back

Yeah, yeah, yeah lord

It was so easy leaving me baby

I can’t let you come back now

No, no, no, no baby

I’m sorry

I just can’t do it to myself
