It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied (No, no)
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A woman's work is never done
Even if it stops, it goes on and on
We work our fingers to the bone
Gotta be home every time he'd phone
Some times the goin' gets a little tough
It's seems our best ain't good enough
Keeps you losin' sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied (No, no)
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/honey_cone/girls_it_aint_easy.html ]
To keep him happy you must sacrifice
Be ready and willin' to face lonely nights
Do all you can and though he seems ungrateful
Love your man true though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone and life gets him down
That's when he'll say he needs you around
It's hard to live with him
Hard to live without him, hey
It ain't easy
Hey, hey, hey
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
You got to baby them with understandin'
When understandin' is what they need
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their neglect
But when their troubled, they need our love and care
No matter when, we gotta be right there
In between the cryin', gotta keep tryin', yeah
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy (No)
It ain't easy, girls, it ain't easy
Meaning of this song in my opinion is that even if your in the gang life or not, its never easy to be in a relationship with a man. But in my situation my boyfriend is in the gang life and trust me chicks its definitely not easy, because i gotta deal with the lonely nights and everything else when he is not by my side. But listening to song automatically made it clear it is not easy, but when everything comes crushing down on him he's gonna need my love and i will be there even after all the neglect. Its a bumpy road with this relationship but i love him. Its hard to live him, and hard to live without him. The song completely gave me a change of heart towards my boyfriend. It definitely isn't easy and it will never be easy, but i must be here for him between the crying and i will continuously continue trying no matter what
