[Verse 1]
It’s hard for me to see you falling
You used to be one jump ahead
But you came too close to the fire
And now the flames mess with your head

[Chorus]
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But I’m on your side

[Verse 2]
A one-armed bandit can do you favors
But he will never be your friend
You thought your full house was a winner
But then you saw the other hand

[Chorus]
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But I’m on your side
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But I’m on your side
[Instrumental bridge]

[Bridge]
The wind can blow in each direction
But it can always be a friend
Piano man, don’t be a stranger
I'd love to see your face again

[Chorus]
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But I’m on your side
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But I’m on your side
