"It Ain't Easy" lyrics

"It Ain't Easy"
(originally by Ron Davies)

When you go up on the mountain top and you look out across the sea
And you know there's another place perhaps that a young man could be
And you jump down to the rooftop and you look out across the town
And you know there's a lot of strange things been circulating 'round

But it ain't easy, but it ain't easy
But it ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

Well, the people got their problems, but that ain't nothin' new
Patience and understanding, child, they can get you on through
They can get you on through, girl, they can take you to the end
They can, ooh, lift you up and let you down again

But it ain't easy, but it ain't easy
But it ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

Satisfaction, satisfaction, boy, tell me who is satisfied?
That the one the woman wants when she hold you deep inside
And she hold you deep inside, boy and she bite you with her teeth
Tell me what woman wants, would you give me some relief?

But it ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

So you go up on the mountain top and you look out across the sea
And you know there's another place perhaps that a young man could be
And you jump down to the rooftop and you look out across the town
And you know there's a lot of strange things been circulating 'round

But it ain't easy, but it ain't easy
But it ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

But it ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down
And it ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down
