Love is Easy

from Softly Loudly by Emma Nabarro-Steel

/

about

An "achingly truthful" and deceptively complex tale that turns fairytale love on it's head with warmth and wit.

lyrics

Love is easy
Easy as ABC
Until you remember those other letters like D

D for the Disney dream and the common theme in which
people get their whole lives fixed by love

Does that ever happen to you?

Love's easy
Easy as ABC
But you should recall those subsequent letters like P

P is for your Prince Charming he loves you only he
never looks at anybody else.

Do you know anyone like this?

I hope you fancy them rotten
Hope they're thoughtful and mild
I hope they drive you inappropriately wild
The love that's going to make you is your own

Don't be afraid to share it
You can give it away
Enjoy the hanging on every word they may say
I don't mean that you should be alone
The love that's going to make you is your own

Love's Easy
Easy as ABC
It's hard to ignore though
A little letter like E

E is the elephant in the room, the one you assume
that nobody else here can see
When we're loving awkwardly

Loving is easy
It is easy as ABC
But you should remember
there are other letters like G

G is for jealousy (well it isn't actually )
But if you spell it right is spoils the song
And jealousy's in everyone

I hope you fancy them rotten
Hope they're thoughtful and mild
I hope they drive you inappropriately wild
The love that's going to make you is your own

Don't be afraid to share it
You can give it away
Enjoy the hanging on every word they may say
I don't mean that you should be alone
The love that's going to make you is your own.
