YOU KNOW IT AIN'T EASY
AND I GUESS I DONE YOU WRONG
‘COS I'M JUST A PITIFUL FOOL
‘COS LATEL Y I'M WAKING MY HEART FEELS LIKE BREAKING
AND I JUST CAN'T GO ON
‘COS BABY I'M NO GOOD WITHOUT YOU
AND IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS
YEAH IT'S A LO NG, LO NG WAY TO WALK
AND IT'S A HIGH MOUNTAI N I MUST CLIMB
OH IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS
NOW I'M THINKING AND WONDERING
AS I WALK ON DOWN THE ROAD
THAT LATEL Y BABY I'M LOSI NG YOU, OH, OH
WELL LAST NIGHT I SAW YOU WITH SOME MAN BESIDE YOU
AND LOR D, LOR D I FELT SO BAD
AND NOW I GUESS I KNOW WE'RE REALLY THROUGH
AND IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS
YEAH IT'S A LO NG, LO NG WAY TO WALK
AND IT'S A HIGH MOUNTAI N I MUST CLIMB
OH IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS
AND IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS (YES IT IS, YES IT IS)
YEAH IT'S A LONG, LONG WAY TO WALK
AND IT'S A HIGH MOUNTAIN I MUST CLIMB (I MUST CLIMB)
OH IT'S A HARD ROAD TO CROSS
