Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by

Oh, darlin', not the kind you offer me
It's just not to be found
Cause we're working on a building
Nobody can tear down
Not what we got

Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by

No, no, I've tried the good life
And I know it's a playground
Where no one cares
Fun and laughs you find out there
It don't compare to what we got
It takes more than just a song and dance
You've got to work and to fight
Give it a chance

But if the rain comes down on us
And there ain't no place to run
Girl, we'll just cover ourselves
With a blanket of love
Wait till the morning comes
A blanket of tenderness and affection
Give us protection
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by

Sometimes it's just a plaything you toss away
When it's old
But we know the value increases
And it's worth more than gold
That's what we got
It ain't easy to come by
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
