Текст песни 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 tale you 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, ain't it hard?
To love someone who never did love you
Let me tell you it's hard
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Hard, hard)
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (It's hard, hard, 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
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

Oh 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
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Yes, indeed it's hard)
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard? (Hard, hard, hard, hard)
To love someone who never did love you
