Girls It Ain't Easy - Dusty Springfield

(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
