It Ain't Easy (To Love Somebody)

I've been looking around at familiar faces

Trying to see all the funny side

Every night I've been going to places

But all I really wanna do is hide

She left me too long to my own devices

The grass was greener on the other side

If I left here tomorrow who's going to blame me?

Pretty soon she's gonna realise

It ain't easy to love somebody

In the back of your mind you may wonder why

It ain't easy to love somebody

When they don't seem to care if you live or die

I thought I'd done right

To make a confession

And straight to your face I apologise

Now I know, I oughta known better

It should have come to me as no surprise

It ain't easy to love somebody

And you better believe there's a price to pay

It ain't easy to love somebody

But it's even harder just to walk away

It ain't easy to love somebody

In the back of your mind you may wonder why

It ain't easy to love somebody

When they don't seem to care if you live or die

It ain't easy to love somebody

And you better believe there's a price to pay

It ain't easy to love somebody

But it's so much harder just to walk away
