You know I've been asking myself
Ain't I been through all this before?
When the money ran out before the rhyme
When I could not believe their lies
I used to think it was easy money
I used to think it's all right
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my way of life
Well the night has fallen long,
That's something she already knows
I don't much enjoy the rain
So I may hang on a few more days
I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it's all right
I used to think it was simple enough
I used to think it was easy, honey
I used to think it was simple enough
Until scratchin' became my real life
I used to think it was easy
I used to think it was alright
I used to think it was simple enough
Till scratchin' became my real life
I used to think it was easy, honey
And I used to think it was alright
