It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy  To keep the man you love satisfied (No, no)  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  Even if it stops, it goes on and on  We work our fingers to the bone  Gotta be home every time he'd phone    Some times the goin' gets a little tough  It's seems our best ain't good enough  Keeps you losin' sleep  Seven days a week, yeah    It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy  To keep the man you love satisfied (No, no)  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 willin' to face lonely nights  Do all you can and though he seems ungrateful  Love your man true 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  It's hard to live with him  Hard to live without him, hey    It ain't easy    Hey, hey, hey    It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy  It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy    You got to baby them with understandin'  When understandin' is what they need  We try hard to give them respect  All that we get is their neglect    But when their troubled, they need our love and care  No matter when, we gotta be right there  In between the cryin', gotta keep tryin', yeah    It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy (No)  It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
