Take Love Easy

Duke Ellington, John La Touche

[Intro]
When I was just a beginner
A junior executive sinner
My mother took me upon her knee
She said, "You're talented, dearie
But you're kinda shaky on theory"
So she gave me this simple recipe
Which I pass on to you for free

[Verse 1]
Take love easy, easy, easy
Never let your feelings show
Make it breezy, breezy, breezy
Easy come and easy go

[Verse 2]
Never smile too brightly, brightly
When your heart is riding high
Let your heart brеak oh so slightly
When your baby says goodbye

[Bridge]
That well-known flamе is mighty hot
As all of us have learned
So handle it with velvet gloves
And you won't get your fingers burned

[Verse 3]
Take love easy, easy, easy
On the free and easy plan
And if you can't take it easy
Take it easy as you can

[Bridge]
That well-known flame is mighty hot
As all of us have learned
So handle it with velvet gloves
And you won't get your fingers burned

[Verse 3]
Take it easy, easy, easy
On the free and easy plan
And if you can't take it easy
Take it easy, easy as you can
