Ain't No Easy Way

Ohhh

We started out as the greatest romance of the twentieth century

But that burning love that I once felt, well, it’s ancient history

He used to really do something to me

But somewhere, something went wrong

(Something went wrong)

Lord, it’s hard to tell your lover that the love you once had is gone

Well, I searched the words of wise men

(Well, I searched the words of wise men)

Put my ear to the ground

(Put my ear to the ground)

But there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

(There ain't no easy way to let your lover down)

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

(Ain't no easy way to let your lover down)

Ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

You know we started out like a house on fire

But the fire soon burned itself out and now all that’s left in the smoldering ashes is misery and doubt

(Misery and doubt)

All along I’ve been telling him that he is the only one

(The only one)

How do I tell him that what I felt, well, it’s all over and done?

Over and done

Well, I searched the words of wise men

(I searched the words of wise men)

I put my ear to the ground

(I put my ear to the ground)

But there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

But there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Sock it to me

Owwww

Oh yeah

I was so sure that I found it this time

He was going to give me his name

Ohhh, but in the morning when we’re making love, baby

It just don’t feel the same

He was quite a lover when we started

A regular Romeo

(A regular Romeo)

Lord, I wish there was an easy way

Lord, I wish there was an easy way

But one of us has got to go

Well, I searched the words of wise men

Well, I searched the words of wise men

(Well I searched the words of wise men)

Put my ear to the ground

Put my ear to the ground

But, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

But, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, no, no, no

There ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

I said there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Got to get your

Ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Ain’t no easy way to let your mama to let you down

I said baby

Ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Let me tell ya that there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

No, there ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

There ain’t no easy way to let your lover down

Aha

Ain’t no easy way to let you down
