All my life I needed a friend
Modern love, it's so easy to bend
Sitting right here with the drinks and a beer
The warm smile, learnt the national cheer
Then the man with a hat
You can take it like that
Take it easy with the hard stuff
Too much too soon
So you think you're immune
Take it easy with the hard stuff
Slip outside
Slip outside
Proper love, I hadn't give it a kick
People get what they never can give
And when the inspiration is letting you down
You get a guilty head, you start hanging around
Then the man with a hat
You can take it like that
Take it easy with the hard stuff
Too much too soon
So you think you're immune
Take it easy with the hard stuff
Slip outside
Slip outside
Easy with the hard stuff
Ooh, easy with the hard stuff
Modern love
It's leaving me low
Modern love
It's leaving me low
Modern love
It's leaving me low
