To Make It Easier On You Lyrics - Singles - Thelma Houston

It's a game, at times quite realistic 

But a game all the same 

Somebody wins and somebody loses 

It all depends on whoever chooses 

To take it most seriously 

But none of this matters to you, babe 

This little pantomime of mine 

Would only bore you 

For you don't know if I'm 

Only going through the motions 

To make it easier for you, babe 

When you decide it's over 

It's a play not written very well 

But it's a play anyway 

Someone's a hero and someone's the villain 

It all depends on whoever's willing 

To give themselves unselfishly 

But none of this matters to you, babe 

This little pantomime of mine 

Would only bore you 

For you don't know if I'm 

Only going through the motions 

To make it easier for you, babe 

When you decide it's over 

We walk the laughing way 

Pretending not to feel 

Pretending it's not real 

And we don't matter either way 

At least that's what I say 

To give you no excuse 

To tremble us before you need to 

To make sure when you do 

You won't know that, I need you 

It's a show 

Not always entertaining 

But a show even so 

Someone's a star and someone's a stand-in 

Some have their handouts 

Some have their hand-ins 

And some people need both hands free 

But none of this matters to you, babe 

This little pantomime of mine 

Would only bore you 

You don't know if I'm 

Only going through the motions 

To make it easier for you, babe 

When you decide it's over 

I'm gonna try to make it 

Easier for you, baby 

When you decide it's all over 

If I could say a gentle word 

To make the inevitable passing of our love 

Seem a little less final 

Knowing that the heart can't help growing colder 

If I could bear the pain and bitterness of our last goodbye 

And let you remember the first sweet hello 

It would make it all worthwhile for me 

If I could just 

Make it easier for you, babe 

I wanna make it easier for you 

Yes, I do 

So you can just tell everybody everywhere 

I'm gonna try to make it easier for you 

I ain't gonna shed some tears, baby, no, no 

When you walk through that door 

I ain't gonna cry, no, no 

I'm gonna make it easier for you
