Lyrics Ben E. King

Ben E. King

It Ain't Fair

People all around me

But I don't even have a friend

Lord knows I've been trying

But I just can't win

Everything I do

Seems to turn out wrong

Sometimes I wish

Oh, I wish I never was born

Talkin' 'bout teardrops

Nobody, nobody knows

Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights

I've had more than my share

Just ain't fair

Just ain't fair

Some folks got it easy

They live the life of love and play

Lord knows I've got to struggle

Got to struggle to make my way

One of these days, y'all

Gonna reach the top, yes I will

I know I can make it

'Cause these tears won't let me stop

Talkin' 'bout teardrops

Nobody, nobody cares

Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights, listen

I've had more than my share

It just ain't fair

It just ain't fair

It just ain't fair

You know it ain't fair

Nobody to call my own (it just ain't fair)

Just stay at home (it just ain't fair)

Listen to my own (it just ain't fair)

No, it ain't fair (it just ain't fair)
