[00:12.37]I'm a little girl, don't take up much space
[00:16.70]But I'm trying to figure out my place
[00:21.34]I go this way, that way-I make a mess
[00:26.47]Seeking out the world with a child's finesse
[00:33.74]And I'm a teenage boy on the awkward side
[00:38.37]And you hurt my heart, never mind my pride
[00:44.00]When you bully me for who I am
[00:47.89]I'm just finding my way to the promised man
[00:55.03]Take it easy on me
[00:59.97]Take it easy on me
[01:09.72]
[01:14.61]And I'm a grown woman, my eyes sore
[01:19.80]Watching love smash to the floor
[01:24.37]The biggest shards I've swept aside
[01:29.19]But dust remains to break my stride
[01:36.33]And I'm a broken man inside my head
[01:40.59]And I can't remember what you said
[01:45.73]And words, to me, slip from my grasp
[01:50.24]So I mumble just to fill the gap
[01:57.38]Take it easy on me
[02:07.03]Take it easy on me
[02:16.55]Take it easy on me
[02:26.07]Take it easy on me
[02:33.51]
[02:36.14]Can't find a job, I don't own a car
[02:40.64]But you gotta eat no matter who you are
[02:45.72]And dirt poor's not the same as dirt
[02:50.91]And I'm trying to make this living work
[03:00.60]And I've come from very far away
[03:03.48]And I hope to find a better day
[03:07.50]But your tongue trips my tongue flat
[03:11.88]And I miss my home but I can't go back
[03:18.83]Take it easy on me
[03:28.53]Take it easy on me
[03:38.11]Take it easy on me
[03:47.75]Take it easy on me
[04:13.17]
[04:40.86]"Take it easy on me" I say to the fool
[04:45.81]Whose face I see in the rippled pool
[04:50.20]It took so long recognizing myself
[04:55.14]I dropped the prize that I once held
[05:02.08]Take it easy on me
[05:11.73]Take it easy on me
[05:19.86]
[05:21.30]Take it easy on me
[05:26.55]
[05:28.68]Take it easy on me
