When you go up on the mountain top and you look out across the sea
And you know there's another place perhaps where a young man could be
And you jump down to the rooftops and you look out across the town
And you know there's a lot of strange things circulating 'round

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

And all the people they got their problems, well that ain't nothin' new
Take your patience and understanding; they can get you on through
They can get you on through, love, they can take you to the end
They can go and take you up and let you down again

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

Satisfaction, satisfaction, tell me who is satisfied?
Well she, ooh, she take it, and she hold it deep inside
And she hold it deep inside, and she bites you with her teeth
And if the woman want she can get you some relief

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to go to heaven when you're going down

It ain't easy to go to heaven if you're going down
