It's Not Easy

(album: Aftermath - 1966)

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 babe (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 babe (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 thunderstorm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants of a stately home

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

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

It's not easy (a pretty tough babe)
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)
It's not easy (it's a pretty hard life)
