John, Elton - It Ain't Gonna Be Easy Lyrics






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 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
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 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

    This album is one of my favorite. I love this album.

  2. 3.... ....

    What a great song from THAT VOICE 💞

  3. K.... B....

    One of Elton's most soulful....vocal performances in my opinion!

  4. K.... G....

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Elton sang this song lying down in the studio!

    K.... G....

    During a time I took vocal lessons it was said you can get the best performance from your voice in that position. Ultimate air flow from your diaphragm

  5. M.... S....

    Questa canzone mi fa impazzire!!!!Grande interpretazione, grande VOCE!!!!😍

  6. e.... ....

    I feel like david gilmour whispered the guitar solo...

  7. S.... H....

    I'm not particularly an Elton John fan but this song simply ROCKS! Definitely one of the hidden gems!

    No a great album but even if it's no great is still so good !! beautiful blues and what a voice !!

  11. s.... m....

    Is there a live performance of this song?

    s.... m....

    No, never heard one.

  12. A.... R....

    Fiquei imaginando Janis Joplin cantando essa música com todos aqueles gritos...

  13. M.... F....

    Best track on the album, reminds me of Ticking on Caribou and Tonight on Blue Moves, true classics.

  14. W.... C....

    A Single Man; without the flashing but at the same time, brilliant ! Good song, good album !!!

  15. n.... ....

    It ain't rock, it ain't pop; it's Elton John. Wonderful.

  16. j.... s....

    great lyrics..i disagree...nobody is taupin..we know that.amazing,amazing song.vocally and musically.

  17. B.... L....

    One of my Top 20 Elton John tracks! Simply luv it!

  18. C.... B....

    Don't love this album but great song here. Kinda makes me wish he had explored the blusey sound a little more.

  19. T.... A....

    I haven’t heard this song in 30 years and I still remember the lyrics! Fav song from this album! ✌️💯👊

  20. L.... L....

    One of my favorites!

  21. a.... m....

    I heard this song for the first time on my ride home from work-Sirius deep tracks. Added to my favorites, loved it!

  22. L.... ....

    This sounds very Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits. Nice song!

  23. K.... B....

    Easily one of Elton's most soulful songs.......

  24. b.... s....

    Lyrics are juvenile; but the melodies and Elton's voice are super.

  25. T.... ....

    Thank God he and Bernie reunited full time after a few years. These lyrics written with other writers were often horrible and definitely not anything CLOSE to what Bernie Taupin wrote. Musically though, Elton was in excellent form here, melodically and vocally.

  26. b.... s....

    Always have loved this song; even though the lyrics were sub-par.

  27. D.... M....

    #63 of the elton 100-- sounds like hes depressed here

  28. J.... s....

    i hear  a single.
