Lyrics by gary osborne
Available on the album a single man
It aint gonna be easy from now on
Youve been messing around while Ive been gone
But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind
Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind
It aint gonna be easy I can tell
Just how empty Im feeling you know damn well
Im telling you it aint gonna be easy from the start
Look out honey youre playing with my heart
It aint gonna be easy thats for sure
Changing things back the way they were before
Once youve lifted the lid on such pain
It aint easy to put it back again
It aint gonna be easy to forget
Youve been seeing a man that I aint met
Im telling you that it aint gonna be easy from the start
Look out baby, youre playing with my heart
It aint gonna be so easy this time around
Turning back the clock on whats 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 aint gonna be easy thats no lie
But if youre willing to try it so am i
It aint gonna be so easy from the start
You better look out darling, youre playing with my heart
