Staying in Love Ain't Easy

Hey, check

Hey, I just wanna do a shout-out to all the real lovers

That go through the ups and downs in real love in real life

Their stayin' in love ain't easy, y'all

Another day in love, somethin' ain't right

My baby and Bills are sleepin' at night

Guess you're wonderin' 'bout me

Y'all I'm pacin' the floor, wonderin' what it's gon' be

Will my check be enough? (Oh, no)

See, the mortgage and the light bill is eatin' it up (uh)

And sometimes it ain't easy

Got my woman at home, and sometimes she don't please me

It's like she got turned the vision (ah)

She only see it that way, say I'm a bad decision maker

Get the doctor on the phone

I need to holler at him 'cause truly something's wrong

I said doctor, doctor tell me what's wrong

Oh, my baby trippin' 'bout to mess up our home

It's like you made a decision

It's like you opened up and put a trip in revision

Because stayin' in love ain't easy

Sometimes it's just pleasin'

You do a lot of things with it loosened

But hold on and just hold on

Say sometimes it might

Take around a time to feel right

But don't give up the fight

Hang in there with all your might, yeah, and just hold on

(Now, verse two) a little somethin' 'bout me

Y'all, it ain't now 'posed to be (ah)

See, I admit I were wrong

See, I got caught in the streets, I shoulda had my ass home

I went and had a little fun

'Cause my baby was trippin' and weren't givin' me nothin'

Opened the loot, he got the gun

I tell you sparked to our plan (hey hol' up, baby, what you doing? Don't you see?)

Yeah, can you tell me where you were last night? (Huh?)

Love you baby, yeah, with all my might (hey)

But I can't let you do me wrong

She told me, "Gather your things and get up outta my home" (huh?)

A couple weeks ago, I was gone

So my baby forgave me and let me come back home

Yeah, see, two wrongs don't make it right (ah)

See, it's because of a lover that I'm slippin' down out

And baby, stayin' in love (stayin' in love) ain't easy

Sometimes, it's just pleasin'

You do a lot of things with it loosened

But hold on, yeah, just hold on, yeah (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Sometimes it might take a little time to get it right

So, don't give up the fight, but don't, baby

All your while (but they know), yeah, don't remember?

You gon' get tired sometime, but don't let it lose your mind

Stayin' in love (stayin' in love) ain't easy, love

Sometimes, it's just pleasin' (oh yeah)

You do a lot of things with it loosened

But, man, it's gon' get rough sometime, yeah

Heavy up at night, steady pace on the floor

But baby, every little time you get it right

Tellin' ya, fella, you're gone far as you can go, yeah

And she tellin' them girls she can't take no more, yeah

And when you love somebody (ah-ah)

You know it's just between the two of them

You know what I'm sayin'

You know my grandmama used to say

That love, ah, is a misunderstandin' between two fools, ah

I've been a fool before, ha-hah, how 'bout you?

Wave your hand, come on!

Stayin' in love ain't easy (oh, baby), sometimes it's just pleasin'

You do a lot of things with it loosened

Oh, sometimes I don't like the girls

She get on my nerves, but I love what they're now

Oh, tell yourself it's time to get away

It might take a little time, do you hear me?

Oh, yeah, but hold on, yeah, just hold on

So you won't get the good without us

Stayin' in love ain't easy (now they tell us it's cheap, and it's easy)

You do a lot of things with it loosened

But a wall you need to try to back up and look at the situation

Look in my plead, 'cause it only means two right here

Take a little time with you, babe, so don't give up the fight

Hangin' on with all your might

'Cause change is gonna come after a while

Get a grip and hold on

All you gotta say is strong, even when you ain't wrong

Please get a grip and hold on, hey, baby

You gon' get tired sometime, but don't let it lose your mind

You might get a little rough sometime

But hold on

All you gotta say is strong, even when you ain't wrong

Remember, if you still lovin', you gotta (hold on) hold on

You gon' get tired sometime, but don't let it lose your mind (hold on)

(Yeah, whoo) wait a minute, hold on (yeah, whoo!)

Sometime, it's too much (yeah, whoo) but whatever you do

But don't walk away, try not to walk away

See, you can't get to the good without a fight, no-no

You gotta fight for it, y'all

Real tough (yeah), it ain't easy, but hold on
