Lyrics
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
People tell me love’s for fools
Here I go, breaking all the rules
It seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh, so doggone easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Yeah, it seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh
Where you’re concerned my heart can learn
Oh-oh-oh
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set aside for me
It seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh, so doggone easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Yeah, it seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh
Where you’re concerned my heart can learn
Oh-oh-oh
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
It seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh, so doggone easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Yeah, it seems so easy (it’s so easy, it’s so easy)
Oh-oh
Where you’re concerned my heart can learn
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
It’s so easy to fall in love
