A letra:


It ain't gonna be easy from now on
You've been messing around while I've been gone
But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind
Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind

It ain't gonna be easy, I can tell
Just how empty I'm feeling, you know damn well
I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start
Look out, honey, you're playing with my heart

It ain't gonna be easy and that's for sure
Changing things back the way they were before
Once you've lifted the lid on such pain
It ain't easy to put it back again

It ain't gonna be easy to forget
Now you've been seeing a man that I ain't met
I'm telling you that it ain't gonna be easy from the start
Look out, baby, you're playing with my heart

It ain't gonna be so easy this time around
Turning back the clock on what's gone down
Oh, there comes a time when you need to make a stand
You gotta play your cards or fold a losing hand

And it ain't gonna be easy and that's no lie
But if you're willing to try it, so am I
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
You better look out, darling, you're playing with my heart

It ain't gonna be easy
It ain't gonna be easy

It ain't gonna be easy and that's no lie
But if you're willing, willing to try it, so am I
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
Oh, you better look out, darling, you're playing with my heart
With my heart, yeah

It ain't gonna be easy
It ain't gonna be easy

It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
Ooh
It ain't gonna be so easy from the sta-a-a-a-a-a-art
It ain't gonna, it ain't gonna be so easy
Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, yeah
It ain't gonna be so easy

It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
Yeah, you got my heart, yeah
And it ain't gonna be so easy from the start
Yeah
It ain't gonna be so easy, easy from the start

It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
Yeah, you got my heart, yeah

But it ain't gonna be so easy from the start
It ain't gonna be easy
Easy from the sta-a-a-a-a-a-a-art
It ain't gonna be easy...
