IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' EASY
(S. Harrington / L. Taylor / M. Gray)

Janie Fricke - 1982



Surely you can sit down awhile
Maybe you can even  smile
And I'll try to pretend that you love me again
But it might take me  a little while

I know you'll be holding me tight
You'll know when the moment is right
When I was broken in two, it was all because of you 
But, baby, I need you tonight

And it ain't easy bein' easy, you know
You're the one who took my heart and my soul
Walked away and left me out of control
And it ain't easy bein' easy, you know

No, it ain't easy when you're needin' someone 
And it ain't easy bein' under the gun
And I'll surrender even though I should run 
And it ain't easy bein' easy

I might end up lonely again
But once you were my only friend  
So I'll hold you and cry with the truth in my eyes 
Hoping you'll love me again

And it ain't easy bein, easy, you know
You're the one who took my heart and my soul
Walked away and left me out of control
And it ain't easy bein' easy, you know

No, it ain't easy when you're needin' someone
And it ain't easy bein' under the gun
And I'll surrender even though I should run 
And it ain't easy bein' easy
No, it ain't easy bein' easy
No, it ain't easy bein' easy
