Pleasures and pains
It is easy to secure a friendship;
To maintain it is a hard task.
It is easy to procure love;
To sustain it is a great risk.
Both pleasures demand pains.

Sonnet: Vices
’Tis easy slipping down any ladder;
’Tis easy to tumble down the hillside;
’Tis easy to fall down from a tree-top;
’Tis easy to slip off footboard of bus.
’Tis hard to climb the rungs of Life’s- ladder
’Tis hard to ascend the steep mountain- side;
’Tis hard to climb the slippery tree-trunk
’Tis hard to keep Balance on alcohol!
’Tis hard to maintain virtues in one’s life;
’Tis hard to maintain the balance of mind;
’Tis hard to do just the good things in life;
’Tis hard to keep off from wine, women, sex.
’Tis easy to contract vices on Earth;
’Tis hard to shake them off, even by stealth.

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

Not hard nor easy..if not impossible
Not hard to cry
not easy to die
Not hard to expect
Not easy to respect
Not hard to dream
Not easy to scream
Not hard heart to defend
Not easy own love to be put at..
.. 'The end'..
..If not impossible..

Easy Come,Easy Go
I see the way you look at me
It's not the Hennessey
Cuz you're feeling me
But instead you're acting scared
Don't be afraid of me
Let's not be cowardly
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Is it my girls 'round me
Or is my job heavy
Come baby talk to me
Maybe from caught out there
Don't tell me it's my hair
Come on now let's play fair
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Instead I get Mr. crazy
Yeah he's comin' see
With the guts to say to me
He thinks that him n' me
Should go and have babies
(Yeah right)
I wish you'd come and save me
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go

Not hard nor easy..if not impossible - rumba dance variation
Easy to cry

Hard to die.
Easy to expect

Hard to respect.
Easy to dream

Hard to scream.
Easy heart to defend
How
love can be
forced
to 'The end'.

Hard On Me
A secret smile
Comes to my eyes like a bolt from the blue
Its not your style
But it leads me to dream about what we could do
Could it be the same
(could it be the same)
Ever be the same
(when I call your name)
Could it be the same again
Ever the same again?
Its hard on me
And I know, nothing comes easy
But its hard on you
Believe me, baby its hard on me
A trick of light
Your face in the shadows alone in the night
Youre in my sights
All Ive been thinking I know that its right
See you standing there
(see you standing there)
Magic in the air
(magic in the air)
Now the smoke has cleared
Time has disappeared
Its hard on me
But you know, nothing comes easy
But its hard on you
I need you, always believe me
Could it be the same?
(could it be the same)
Ever be the same
(when I call your name)
Could it be the same
Ever the same again?
Its hard on me
But I know, nothing comes easy
But its hard on you
I need you, always believe me
Its hard on me
But you know, nothing comes easy
But its hard on you
Ive hurt you before
Now please dont make it hard on me

Easy For You To Say
(jack wesley routh/randy sharp)
These things happen
Love never comes with a guarantee
No hard meetings
But it looks like this love was never meant to be
Thats easy for you to say
Youve got another whos willing and waiting for you
Thats easy for you to say
Youre not the one with the heart thats breaking in two
You tell me its better this way
Thats easy for you to say
Therell be changes
Times never been known to ever stand still
Lonely losers
Hold to a promise theyll never fulfill
Thats easy for you to say
Youve got another whos willing and waiting for you
Thats easy for you to say
Youre not the one with the heart thats breaking in two
You tell me its better this way
Thats easy for you to say
You tell me you know hat its wrong
To walk out this way
But in time my true love will come
And Ill thank you some day
Thats easy for you to say
Youve got another whos willing and waiting for you
Thats easy for you to say
Youre not the one with the heart thats breaking in two
You tell me its better this way
Thats easy for you to say
Thats easy for you to say

Why Do You Have To Be So Hard To Love
Was it some man that didn't treat you right
Left you reaching out for him in the middle of the night
Is there some heartache that you can't out run
That makes you so afraid to get close to anyone
You're so - easy to look at
You're so easy to hold
It's so easy to touch you - but so hard to let go
It's so easy to want you - that I can't get enough
Tell me why do ya have to be
Why do ya have to be so hard to love
Is it some hurt from long ago
That makes it so hard to let your feelings show
Is it the ghost of who you used to be
That makes you so afraid to bear your soul to me

Easy Come, Easy Go
(words & music by weisman / wayne)
Easy come, easy go
Here, there, everywhere, crazy love is in the air
Nightfall, mmm, day and nightfall
So many girls in every port
You gotta be a juggernaut
Full speed ahead or youll be caught
Oh yeah! oh yeah!
Easy come, easy go
Up, down, all around, kiss and kiss
And pound for pound, delicious
Mmm so nutritious
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go
All right!
When you want love to keep you warm
Theres nothing like a uniform
You got a port in any storm
There she blows
Easy come, easy go
Up, down, all around, kiss and kiss
And pound for pound, delicious
Mmm so nutritious
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go

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)

It's not easy living on your own

Easy Rider
Pop/jones
In the alley where have I grown
Hot night sweats our clothes
My hell is crackin fire
Thats what you inspire
Cruel highway entrance signs
People driving to their lives
Looks like a giant stream
But its just a dream
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Broken people all around
Old guarantees that pull you down
You need a way out, you need a ride
Cause where you are is suicide
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Oh I see the sacred dreams
And if Im no _? _
Ill feel real _? _
Tearing out my hair
I see fertility
In pretty girls I meet
I love my friend
Give me hands _? _
Highway in the sun
We listen to the engines run
I wanna fine myself in you
You wanna find yourself, too
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider

Not So Easy (hidden Track)
Save up until you've had it.
The offer's come but you won't go on
Brought down
with the force of nature
breathing off my lungs
it's not easy to like it (it's not easy to like it)
it's not easy at all (it's not easy at all)
it's not easy to like it at all
fill up to the limit
winter's come with her appetite
money clips equipped with paper
buckets brimming and tied
it's not easy to like it (it's not easy to like it)
it's not easy at all (it's not easy at all)
it's not easy to like it at all
it's not easy to like it (it's not easy to like it)
it's not easy at all (it's not easy at all)
it's not easy to like it at all
breathing off of my lung
when you breathe off of my lung
save up till youve had it
offer's come but you won't go on
brought down the forces of nature
when you breathe
it's not easy to like it
it's not easy at all
it's breathing off of my lung

Easy For Me To Say
easy for me to say (clint black/hayden nicholas)
Some won't find the words
More won't find a way
Never too often heard
You know it's easy for me to say
The thing you need to hear
Way more than every day
Can never be too clear
You know it's easy for me to say
Chorus
I love you
Quiet and loud
Alone in a crowd
I love you
In a thousand little ways
I'm learning to say
And i learn something new every day
I love you
It's easy for me to say
It always sounds the same
Music to my ears
Leaves nothing to explain
You know it's easy for me to hear
The phrase that we all know
Nothing it can't outweigh
Take it wherever we go
You know it's easy for me to say
Repeat chorus
Bridge
I love you
No poet ever found a better way
You know it's easy for me to say
I love you
I'll try to say it more every day
You know it's easy for me to say

Easy, On Easy Street
This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it has been released on.
My way was the hard way
Didnt know it at the time
I couldve made it by now
But I as too busy tryin
Your way was too easy
Thank God you came along
You took me to a special place
Where nothing can go wrong
Easy, on easy street
Youre the one who gave me love
That made my love complete
Easy, on easy street
The dream I pictured in my mind
Could never be this sweet
Everything Ill ever need
Is here with you on easy street
I know youre up to something
Whats on your little heart
It really doesnt matter, cause
I know Ill love my part
Easy, on easy street
Youre the one who gave me love
That made my love complete
Easy, on easy street
The dream I pictured in my mind
Could never be this sweet
Everything Ill ever need
Is here with you on easy street
Is here with you on easy street
The dream I pictured in my mind
Could never be this sweet
Everything Ill ever need

You Can't Give Up On Love
(alan jackson)
You say your heart's been broken
And you just can't win
You say that you'll never love again
Let me tell you friend
You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love
Looked out my window and what did i see
It's another broken family
The kids are stayin' with mama at home
Daddy's livin' in a house all alone
You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love
Troubled times make it hard to stay
So many lovers take the easy way
But don't go crazy and jump ship too soon
'cause every day can't be a honeymoon
You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love
No, you can't give up on love
Oh, you can't give up on love

Easy To Love
Writers: leo sayer & albert hammond
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love dont come easy and love dont compare
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
One the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
But thats the way I love to shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the soles of my feet to the top of the sky
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love dont come easy, and love dont compare
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
One the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
Its easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe

Hurtin Comes Easy
Ive spent a lifetime lookinfor love
Just when I find it, it comes undone
Ive tried so hard to make love happen
Like some never endinpattern
I end up on the sad side of the fun
Hurtincomes easy
Hurtincomes easy
Hurtincomes easy
For me
Well, Ive seen people that got it made
Theyve got someone and love looks great
But me, Ive been to every doctor
Ive tried it wild and tried it proper
And I always end up watchinlove walk away
Thats ok

Ive gotten used to getting over
And hopefully as I grow older
Love wont be so difficult to see
But now for me
