"It's Not Easy" lyrics

It's Not Easy

It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's a pretty hard, baby
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

All of the things
That you used to do
If they're done now
Well, they're done by you
It seems a big failing
In a man
To take his girl for granted
If he can

And it's hard, baby
It's not easy
And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's a pretty hard, baby
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

There's no place
Where you can call home
Got me running like a cat
In a thunder storm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants
Of a stately home

And it's hard, babe
It's not easy
And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's a pretty hard, babe
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's hard
It's not easy
And it's a pretty hard, babe
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

Sit here thinking
With your head of fire
Go think the same thing
And never tire
Imagining the glow
Of her long clean hair
As she goes to sit
On her own high chair

And it's hard, babe
It's not easy
Well, it's pretty hard, baby
It's not easy
Well, it's hard, baby
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own

It's not easy
A pretty tough thing
It's not easy
Well, life's pretty rough
It's not easy
It's a hard time, baby
It's not easy
It's a hard time, baby
