Hard, Ain't It Hard

(альбом: Rock 'n' Soul - 1964)

Hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never will love you
Hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never will be true

There is a house in this old town
That's where my true love hangs around
Don't you know
He takes other women right down on his knee
And he tells them a little tale he won't tell me
Now let me tell you, don't you know that it's
Hard, ain't it hard

Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never did love you
Let me tell you that it's
Hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never will be true

The first time that I saw my true love
She was walking by my door
And don't you know
That the next time I saw her false hearted smile
She was laying cold on the floor

Hey listen, don't you know it's been hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never will love you
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never will be true

Now tell me
Who's gonna hold your precious hands
Who's gonna kiss your ruby mouth
And who's gonna talk your future over
While I'm out there working like a dog
Way down in the south

Now baby, that's sure hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
To love someone who never did love you
Let me tell you that it's hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard
