Dusty Springfield – Girls It Ain't Easy lyrics

(Ronald Dunbar / Edith Wayne)

Yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side

A woman's 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 ain't good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't 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
That's when he'll say
He needs you around

Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It ain't easy, no

Oh, yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't 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 they're in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, yeah, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, no
