Lemon Squeezy - Lyrics

It’s difficult / It’s easy It’s hard / Lemon squeezy

It’s difficult for me to learn vocabulary

My dictionary doesn’t help at all

I look up a word that I’ve never seen or heard
But later it’s not easy to recall

I have difficulty knowing which article to use.
Does it need an ‘s’? Should I even care?
Do I mean ‘one of many?’ ‘This one exactly?’
Or ‘all of them everywhere?’

It’s difficult / It’s easy It’s hard / Lemon squeezy

Some people make a note of any new words they see
They review the words regularly
They add information about collocation

And soon they write effortlessly

It’s difficult / It’s easy It’s hard / Lemon squeezy

My friends find it easier than me
To learn new vocabulary
They use a different strategy

Speak English with your friends
Evenings and weekends
It’s easier that way

You don’t even have to pay

It’s easy.. Lemon squeezy..
