Good Lovin Aint Easy To Come By

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
(with Tammi Terrell)
BOTH: Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
HIM: Oh, darlin', that's the kind you offer me
It's just the love to be found
HER: 'Cause we're workin' on a buildin' nobody can tear down
BOTH: Look what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey
BOTH: Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy, darlin'
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by, oh no no
HIM: I've tried the good life and I know
It's a playground where no one cares
HER: But at last you'll find out that don't compare
BOTH: To what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey
BOTH: It takes more than just a song and dance
You've got to work and fight to give it a chance
HIM: If the rain comes down on us
And there ain't no place to run
HER: We'll just cover ourselves with a blanket of love
And wait till the mornin' comes
HIM: Oh baby, let's do it today
HER: Inflection
BOTH: Give us protection
BOTH: Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
HIM: Some think it's a plaything
You can toss away when it's old
HER: But when love's valued in pieces
It's worth more than gold
BOTH: That's what we've got
Fading sequence:
HER: Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
over HIM: Oh, oh, it ain't easy
