Hard Work
Henderson Ella Lyrics

No I'm not talking from experience
Although I haven't experienced this myself, I have learned something valuable.

But you're good for me
Even though you push me to my limits, I know I need you in my life.

I know you seem to make my body ache
Sometimes I feel physical pain because of what you make me do.

It's a feeling I appreciate
But strangely enough, I welcome that feeling because it means I am improving.

This time I know I won't be proved wrong
I have a strong feeling that I will come out on top this time.

This time to win you gotta lose some
I understand that sometimes you have to sacrifice to achieve your goals.

Sometimes I just wanna give you up right away
Occasionally, I feel defeated and want to quit immediately.

But then you go and brighten up my day
But then you surprise me with progress and that gives me hope to keep going.

I know I'm not wasting my time
I am confident that investing time in you will lead to positive results.

For you to be the reason I cry
I won't allow myself to be upset and discouraged because of you.

And you're the one who's by my side
You are always there for me when I am overwhelmed.

When I'm going out of my mind
When I feel like I am losing control,

But 99% of the time you're hard work
The majority of the time, working with you is tough.

And when I'm losing all my energy
When I feel drained and can't go on,

You're like my only working remedy
You are the only thing that can motivate me again.

When I struggle to breathe it's 'cause you're hard work
When I am challenged and overwhelmed, it can be hard to keep moving forward.

And when I start to feel I've had enough
When I reach my breaking point,

And my head is feeling kind of wrong
When my thoughts are muddled and I can't focus,

And then I'm thinking it's tough
When the going gets hard,

This high is a feeling that I'm fixed on
The thrill of accomplishment is what drives me forward.

I know it was worth it in the long run
Despite the challenges, it will all pay off in the end.

And you can tell by the smile on my face
My joy and satisfaction is evident even when I am struggling.

Hmm, hard work
It's never going to be easy.

Hmm, you're hard work
But I know I need to put in the effort.

But I'm not running away, no
Even though it's challenging, I won't give up.

A little bit of light is all it takes
Sometimes just a small glimpse of progress can be enough to keep me going.

You're hard work
This relationship requires a lot of effort.

But you're good for me
But ultimately, it will all be worth it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
I am determined to keep pushing forward no matter what.
