EASY, EASY BABY
(R Toombs)

as recorded by Varetta Dillard
1952


Take it easy baby, don't hold me too tight,
And everything is gonna be alright!

Easy, easy baby, when it's time to kiss your baby goodnight,
Easy, easy baby, you can hold me but don't hold me too tight!
Slow and easy baby, and everything is gonna be alright!

Why d'you say you love me? You can never meant a word you said!
Why d'you say you love me if you never meant a word you said?
Take it easy baby, you got the bees a-buzzin' round in my head!

When I press my cheeks to yours, I get a funny feelin' from my head to my toes,
Makes me wanna laugh, makes me wanna cry, makes me wanna love you till the day I die!

I know it's gonna please ya a-when I tell you how I love you so,
I know it's gonna please ya a-when I tell you how I love you so,
Take it slow and easy and I'll never never let you go!

Easy baby, oh easy now,
Easy baby,  easy now,
Ooh easy baby, oh easy now!

I know it's gonna please ya a-when I tell you how I love you so,
I know it's gonna please ya a-when I tell you how I love you so,
Take it slow and easy and I'll never never let you go,
Take it slow and easy and I'll never never let you go!
