It Ain't Easy

Gets up in the morning

It's a daily routine

Is it blue today

Or maybe green

Picks black, as always

It's no surprise

It flatters the shape

But the pain in her eyes

It's still there

And she wonders when she'll reach

Her better days days

When today's thoughts reflect

On yesterdays

Right now the past it's much like

The present

She's borrowing time to make

Things pleasant

Worked all week

To make a dollar

Comes home to find

The landlord's called her

The check for rent

Bounced today

Better make it good

It won't go away

It's still there

And she wonders when she'll reach

Her better days days

When today's thoughts reflect

On yesterdays

Right now the past it's much like

The present

She's borrowing time to make

Things pleasant

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

And she wonders when she'll reach

Her better days days

When today's thoughts reflect

On yesterdays

Right now the past it's much like

The present

She's borrowing time to make

Things pleasant

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

It ain't easy

It ain't easy
