Lyrics for Hard, Ain't It Hard
Hard, ain't it hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard To love someone who never will love you? Hard, ain't it hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard To love someone who never will be true? There is a house in this old town That's where my true love hangs around Don't you know, he takes other women Right down on his knee And he tells them a tale you won't tell me Now let me tell you, don't you know that it's hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? To love someone who never did love you Let me tell you it's hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Hard, hard) Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (It's hard, hard, hard) To love someone who never will be true The first time that I saw my true love She was walkin' by my door And don't you know that the next time I saw her Her false hearted smile She was layin' cold on the floor Hey listen, don't you know it's been hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? To love someone who never will love you Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? To love someone who never will be true Now tell me who's gonna hold your precious hands Who's gonna kiss your ruby mouth And who's gonna talk your future over While I'm out there workin' like a dog way down in the south Oh baby, that's sure hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard Ain't it hard, ain't it hard To love someone who never did love you Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Yes, indeed it's hard) Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Hard, hard, hard, hard) To love someone who never did love you
