Love ain't easy
Barry White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many times baby have you heard
people say that nothing good comes easy
Tell me how many times do we sit amongst our friends
making up and breaking up just trying to get their lives together
As simple as the word love is its,
its not easy for two people to feel and touch and
hold and need each other, its how bad we really want it
Whatever the mind can conceive, its possible
Love ain't easy baby, love ain't easy
We're so perfect for each other, still you have some doubts
You're holding back your love girl, just incase it don't workout
Girl we know love ain't easy
Something no one can deny
But we'll never know if we can make it
We won't know girl, not until we try(yeah)
We won't know until we try
You, you say love is a gamble, well nothing guarantee
But if we give our love a chance girl, girl I bet we will succeed
Girl we know love ain't easy
That something no one can deny
But we'll never know if we can make it
We won't know girl, not until we try(yeah)
We just won't know until we try
He's gonna blow for...
(saxphone medley)
We just don't know until we try
Let him blow some more for...
Love ain't easy
Love ain't easy
We just won't know until we try
Let him blow some more for...
Love ain't easy
Love ain't easy
We just won't know until we try
Girl we know love ain't easy
That something no one can deny
But we'll never know if we can make it
We won't know girl until we try(yeah)
We just won't know until we try
La La... La La
Love aint easy
It ain't easy
Love aint easy
It ain't easy
Love ain't easy
It ain't easy
Love ain't easy




It ain't easy
End
