Hard, Ain't It Hard - Solomon Burke

Hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never will love you

Hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never will be true

There is a house in this old town

That’s where my true love hangs around

Don’t you know

He takes other women right down on his knee

And he tells them a little tale he won’t tell me

Now let me tell you, don’t you know that it’s

Hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never did love you

Let me tell you that it’s

Hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never will be true

The first time that I saw my true love

She was walkin' by my door

And don’t you know

That the next time I saw her false hearted smile

She was layin' cold on the floor

Hey listen, don’t you know it’s been hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never will love you

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never will be true

Now tell me

Who’s gonna hold your precious hands

Who’s gonna kiss your ruby mouth

And who’s gonna talk your future over

While I’m out there workin' like a dog

Way down in the south

Now baby, that’s sure hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

To love someone who never did love you

Let me tell you that it’s hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard
