[Verse 1]
I've got a saying in my life that's got me by so far
Well it mat not be right but, nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong
The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else
If you want something done you got to do it yourself
I'll do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me

[Chorus]
Because nothing comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily

[Verse 2]
I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me
He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree
It would have been alright but he pushed me too far
If you're looking for trouble step outside of this bar
If it comes down to fisting, mister that ain't nothing new to me

[Chorus]
Because nothing comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily
[Interlude]
No no no

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You'll find in this life if there's something that you believe
You got to get your hands dirty when it's something that you really need
If they ever give you something too easily
Can't be too good, 'cause nothing good's for free
Tell ya' straight from the heart a bed of roses it will never be

[Chorus/Outro]
Because nothing comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
No no no
Nothing comes easy
Nothing comes easy
If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
Nothing comes easy
Nothing comes easy
If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily
