’Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never
comes around
To you

To you...

To you...

CHORUS:
Easy not to...
Easier not to...
Ahh...

To you

CHORUS:
To you to you to
you to you to you
to you to you
To you to you to
you to you oh...
to you

We see Bella going to the police station accompanied by Frankie and Jo.

ANDREW: There’s an apprehensive / Naked little trembling boy

With his head in
his hands²

CHORUS:
Hands in
his hands
In his hands

CHORUS 2:
Hands

BELLA: And there’s an
underestimated
And impatient little girl
Raising her hand³

FRANKIE/JO/CHORUS:

STEVE enters, home from work, as Mary Jane puts her coat on and prepares to head out.

STEVE: (to Mary Jane) Um, hi? You’re leaving? I just got home.

MARY JANE: I need air.

STEVE: Are you okay?

MARY JANE: Yes, why does everyone keep asking me that?!

STEVE: Because you’ve been acting crazy lately...Can you put your phone away and look at me? Why won’t you talk to me about anything anymore? (frustrated, as she grabs her coat) Are you going on one of your walks?

MARY JANE: It’s easy not to

MARY JANE/STEVE: So much easier not to

MARY JANE/STEVE/NICK:

And what goes around never

Comes around

To you

CHORUS:
Around and
around and
around
Around and
around
To you

2 Says Tom Kitt, “This song checks in on how the effects of Bella’s rape accusation are playing out among the different characters. It really becomes a company number where we’re trying to track everyone’s emotions as Bella’s story comes to light.”

3 “The little girl here is me. The song is about the patriarchy and being on the receiving end of narcissism. The level of patronizing behavior I’ve received from men is ridiculous.”
