Nothing Good Comes Easy

(album: The Grass Roots - 1975)

Watching our lifelines wind around each other
And thinking 'bout the good times – and the bad
We call on all the joy and pain we've given one another
It's a wonder we haven't driven each other mad

But nothing good comes easy
No matter how bad you wish it would
But if it costs us a lot keeping what we got
Well, we've got something good
We've got something good

Looking back on all the twisting trails we traveled
And all the crazy changes we've been through
And knowing how the ties that bind can tend to come unravelled
It's a wonder you're still with me and I'm still with you

'Cause nothing good comes easy
No matter how bad you wish it would
And if it costs us a lot keeping what we've got
Well, we've got something good
We've got something good

We're trying not to grow apart
While we both try to keep on growing
It's got to be some kind of a knock
Just trying to keep a good love going

Nothing good comes easy
No matter how bad you wish it would
And if it costs us a lot keeping what we've got
Well, we've got something good
We've got something good

Well, nothing good comes easy
No matter how bad you wish it would
And if it costs us a lot keeping what we've got
Well, we've got something good
We've got something good...
