Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Easy"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why They're Nonsensical:
Why does it sound funny to hear that you can't stand the pain? Ha, ha.
