I Know It 'Aint' Been That Easy
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
And on your own.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Making ends meet,
And feeding.
With nothing to spare for treats.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
Like that.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Living alone,
And the money's gone.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Like that,
Cash strapped.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Being alone,
And on your own.
Doing your best,
And the money's gone.
Living a life that is condoned,
You manage.
And I know it aint been that easy...
Cash strapped and trapped.
I know it aint been that easy...
Cash strapped and trapped.
I know it aint been that easy,
Being alone,
And on your own.
Doing your best,
And the money's gone.
Living a life that is condoned,
You manage.
Being alone,
And on your own.
Doing your best,
And the money's gone.
Living a life that is condoned,
You manage.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
Like that.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
And on your own.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
Like that.
I know it 'aint' been that easy...
Cash strapped,
And on your own...
Doing the best you do to make it through

Girls It Aint Easy
(ronald dunbar / edith wayne)
Yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A womans work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best aint good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
Thats when hell say
He needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It aint easy, no
Oh, yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
You got to favour him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when theyre in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, yeah, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, no

It Aint Easy
When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places perhaps, where a young man could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look out over the town
Think about all of the strange things circulating round
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to get to heaven when youre going down
Well all the people have got their problems
That aint nothing new
With the help of the good lord
We can all pull on through
We can all pull on through
Get there in the end
Sometimes itll take you right up and sometimes down again
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to get to heaven when youre going down
Satisfaction, satisfaction
Keep me satisfied
Ive got the love of a hoochie koochie woman
She calling from inside
Shes a-calling from inside
Trying to get to you
All the woman really wants you can give her something too
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to get to heaven when youre going down
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to get to heaven when youre going down

It Aint Easy
You make it all sound easy
Now youve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That youd found another man
But its hard to see
What you want from me
Its not easy to be in-between
Its now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
cause it aint what youve got
In the palm of your hand
And its not what youll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday mornings waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Dont keep the pages clean
Baby, now youve got this chance
Dont leave me out
Its so hard when
Youre in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It aint easy ...

It Aint Easy When You Fall
(ian hunter)
You used to float just like a boat upon the tide
You used to run when things were done you used to hide
You talk of ships you talk of boats you talk of games
And now youre down you aint around its such a shame
Cause you got something to give
Something to hold onto
Why dont you live
And you just forget about fixing up fate
Maybe youd stop pick yourself up
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
You didnt know this world aint slow you gotta move
You made no sound I watched you drown I watched you loose
Your loneliness you knew it best but its a drag
Cause in the end I lost a friend I feel so sad
Cause you had something to give
Something to hold onto
Why did you live
If you just forgot about fixing up fate
Youd be here youd be near
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
Oh-oh hey
It aint easy when you fall

Its Never Easy To Say Goodbye
Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
Its never easy to say goodbye
Julie ray in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and its time to fly
Its all her dad can do to keep from breakin? down
Its never easy to say goodbye
(chorus)
It aint easy
To ever say goodbye
It aint easy
Lettin? go of the ones you love
But believe me
Begin by and by
If not here
Than somewhere up above
Ive had some friends that I lost along the way
Theyve been called on down the line
Though their time was short, I think about them every day
And it aint easy to say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And its all right if you want to cry
And though I know, well meet again someday
Its never easy to say goodbye

No Two Ways About It
(greg barnhill/kim carnes/vince melamed)
I walked into the club last night
I hadnt been there for so long
Thinking foolishly I might find you sitting all alone
But oh how dreams lie
When she put her arms around you
And I watched you close your eyes
Aint no two ways about it, something here had changed
Aint no going back now, to that same old same
Used to be, you were always there for me
Now theres one thing I know, thats when to cash em in
God I hate to lose you, but theres no way I can win
And Im finding out, aint no two ways about it now
The lights were not too dim to see what was really going on
As the truth occurred to me, the band began to play our song
And you swirled her across the floor
But the thing that got me most
Was when you waltzed her out the door
Aint no two ways about it, something here had changed
Aint no going back now, to that same old same
Used to be, you were always there for me
Now theres one thing I know, thats when to cash em in
God I hate to lose you, but theres no way I can win
And Im finding out, aint no two ways about it now
Now theres one thing I know, thats when to cash em in
Oh, God I hate to lose you, but its looking like the end
And Im finding out, aint no two ways about it
Finding out, aint no two ways about it now
Oh, aint no two ways

Run To The Sun
For the first time in my life
Im up to run away
Its not a choice that I made easily
Its not that Im ashamed
To face the light of day
Its really just a case of self delusion
And I know it aint easy
I know it aint easy
I know it aint easy
To see the truth
So run to the sun
Heres one for the road
And may gods love go with you
My tears are starting to show
Woah...
Run to the sun
And may gods love go with you
I cry my tears
Who will be my hero
That I should fall from grace
Implies a twist of fate
But Im open to the joys and woes of passion
And who shall take the wheel
When its time for overkill
Theres no release when destiny is calling
And I know it aint easy
Somebody reach me
Willing to teach me
So run to the sun
Heres one for the road
Though Ill never be lonely
Are you so high above me?
Woah...
Run to the sun
See how my life is changing
The days go by
I wonder if Ill make it

Rock The Night
Ive gone through changes
Ive gone through pain
But theres not enough reason for me to go insane
I know the feeling, when it grows
Im in a rage up from my head down to my toes.
You know it aint easy
Running out of thrills
You know it aint easy
When you dont know what you want.
Rock now, rock the night
til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
Youd better believe its right.
I know my limit
Just what it takes
When things aint good enough
I just pull the brake
Sometimes its easy
Sometimes so tough
But just have one thing clear
I cant get enough.

I Dont Want To Be Alone
(reba mcentire)
My nerves are shot, the coffees cold.
Wish that I could be so bold as to
Walk right up to you and say what I think.
I dont now what you think
Of me. and I know everyone can see Im crazy
About you and always will be.
Wheres womens lib when you need it the most.
Or was it mama who said
Youre not suppose to flaunt yourself like that
As if theres no in between.
Or maybe its not that Im afraid, its just that the last move I made
Embarrased me to death and made me want to hide.
So if youve ever been embarrassed before meet me half way
And Ill know for sure. at least
Well still be friends if I mess up again.
Cause it aint easy meeting
Someone new. especially when that someone is you.
It aint easy by being by yourself. its no fun to be alone,
And I dont want to be alone.
Cause it aint easy meeting someone new.
Especially when that someone is
You. it aint easy by being by yourself. its no fun to be alone,
And I dont want to be alone.
My nerves are shot, the coffees cold.
Wish that I could be so bold as to walk
Right up to you and say what I think.

It Aint Easy
(j.p. maunick / graham harvey)
We can walk for miles
We can talk for days
Learn about each other always
And though we walk for miles
And we talk for days
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And for a while something is broken and missing
And I cant tell whats goin on in your mind
It aint easy
Getting it right
It aint easy
Trying to read the signs
It aint easy
Trying to work out whats going on in your mind
And though we live and learn
Love is give and take
We fall into confusion some days
Where theres fear and need
We keep it all inside
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And for a while something is broken and missing
And I cant tell whats goin on in your mind
It aint easy
Getting it right
It aint easy
Trying to read the signs
It aint easy
Trying to work out whats going on in your mind

Leaving Home Aint Easy
I take a step outside
And I breathe the air
And I slam the door
And Im on my way
I wont lay no blame
I wont call you names
cause Ive made my break
And I wont look back
Ive turned my back
On those endless games
Im all through with ties
Im all tired of tears
Im a happy man
Dont it look that way?
Shaking dust from my shoes
Theres a road ahead
And theres no way back home
Ohh but I have
Leaving home aint easy
Oh I never thought it would be easy
Leaving on your own
Oh is the main thing calling me back?
Leaving home aint easy
On the one your leaving home
Stay my love my love please stay
Stray my love whats wrong my love?
Whats right my love?
Ohh leaving home aint easy
I thought how could I think of leaving
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home aint necessary
Leave the only way
Leaving home aint easy
But may be the only way

Loving You Aint Easy

Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Every lonely road you walk along
Ill be there too
Just say the word love
And I would follow you
Every lonely road you walk along
Id walk along with you
If only you would show me that you care
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Tell me what you see
Someone whos always there when everything goes wrong
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Must I always be
The kind of fool that you keep hanging on
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Theres been so many times Ive cried
But you wont know it
Cause baby I dont show it
Ooohh
Loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side

Its Only Love
When the feelin is ended
There aint no use pretendin
Dont ya worry - its only love
When your world has been shattered
Aint nothin else matters
It aint over - its only love
And thats all - ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It aint easy - but its only love
And if your life aint worth livin
And youre ready to give in
Just remember - that its only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin back in desperation
Over and over and over again
When your world is shattered
Aint nothin else matters
It aint over - its only love
If your life aint worth livin
And youre ready to give in
Just remember - that its only love
Ya - thats all
Ya it aint easy baby
But its only love - and thats all

Parole
Put down that phone and listen
Baby how can you be so unkind
If they catch me out of line only one more time
Ill be down in the slammer fore you count to nine
I didnt mean to step out without you
And Im sorry way down in my soul
But it aint easy being on
Parole with you baby
Before they throw me in the hole
I got to get my dose of rock and roll
And it aint easy being on
Parole with you baby, let go
Put down that gun and listen
If you shoot it would be such a waste
cause any one of these days I just might change my ways
And I wont be around to see the look on your face
I know that it might make you happy
To fill my body full of holes
But you know it aint easy being on
Parole with you baby
Put down the phone and put down the gun
Please let me know you still believe in me, hon

Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them how much should we give ?
They only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no militarys son
It aint me, it aint me

Aint What You Do

When I was a kid, about half past three
My ma said daughter, come here to me
Says, things may come and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know
(chorus1)
Aint what you do, its the way that you do it (x3)
Thats what gets results
Aint what you do, its time that you do it (x3)
Thats what gets results
You can try hard, dont mean a thing
Take it easy, easy, in the jiven swing
Aint what you do, its the place that you do it
Aint what you do, its the time that you do it
Aint what you do, its the way that you do it
Thats what gets results
Youve learned your abcs, youve learned your dfgs
But this is something you dont learn in school
So get your hip boots on, and then you carry on
But remember not to try too hard or it dont mean a thing

Trash
It aint the way you crawl across
The cathouse floor
It aint the way you curse me
When you slam the bedroom door
It aint the way you sweat me for a
Handful of easy cash
Its just the way you love me
When you turn to trash
Trash
Its not the way you dress when
You socialize, oh those eyes
It aint the diamond rock or that
Rolls you drive
You can walk the streets with all
Your uptown flash, such flash
But when you hit the sheets you
Just turn to trash
Youre such trash
I love the way you look
Youre such a high class tramp
Itd not the way you touch me
When you...
Youre daddys dream, youre a
Peach in cream
And youre finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you
Just turn to trash
