It Ain't Gonna Be Easy

music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
arranged by Paul Buckmaster
album A Single Man 1978


it ain't gonna be easy from now on
you've been messin' round while I've been gone
but sometimes tellin' the truth can be unkind
folks who suffer guilt can be so blind
it ain't gonna be easy I can tell
just how empty I'm feeling you know damn well
I'm tellin' you
it ain't gonna be easy from the steart
look out honey you're playing with my heart

it ain't gonna be easy that's for sure
changing things back the way they were before
once you've lifted the lid on such pain
it ain't easy to put it back again
it ain't gonna be easy to forget
you've been seeing a man that I ain't met
I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start
look out baby you're playing with my heart

it ain't gonna be so easy this time round
turning back the clock on what's gone wrong
oh there comes a time when you need to make a stand
you better play your cards or fold a losing hand
and it ain't gonna be easy that's no lie
but if you're willin' to try it so am I
it ain't gonna be so easy from the start
you better look out darlin', you're playing with my heart

you got my heart
