[Chorus]
Yeah, it ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side

[Verse 1]
A woman's work is never done (A woman's work)
Never stops, it goes on and on (A woman's work)
You work your fingers to the bone (Keep on working, keep on working)
You gotta be home every time he phones (Gotta be home by the phone, yeah)
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best ain't good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah (Hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus]
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side

[Verse 2]
To keep him happy you must sacrifice (Sacrifice)
Be ready and willing to spend lonely nights (Sacrifice)
Do what you can though he seems ungrateful (You know you got to, ooh, yeah)
Love him so true even though he seems unfaithful (You know you got to, got to)
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
That's when he'll say he needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him (Hey, hey, hey)
It ain't easy, no
[Chorus]
(Hey, hey, hey)
Oh, yeah, it ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy

[Verse 3]
You got to favour him with understanding (Understanding)
When understanding is what he needs (Understanding)
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when they're in trouble they need our love and care
No matter when, we gotta be right there
In between the crying, gotta keep trying (Hey, hey, hey)

[Outro]
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
Yeah, ooh
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy, no
