Ain't It Heavy?

Melissa Etheridge · Never Enough [1992]

Sometimes I know that it's never enough

Survival is fine, but satisfaction is rough

I try with an angel tonight

Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride

Cruise these streets where my innocence hides

There's some things you can't deny

What is it about this human condition?

I need some kind of promise; some kind of submission tonight



Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?

Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?



I'm feelin' kinda loose an' I'm feelin' kinda mean

I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen

Or...is it madness, baby?

Tell me, where can a woman find any kind of peace?

When does the fury and the agony cease?

How long have I got to say please?



There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade

I've been ripping out the seams

Somebody else made tonight



Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?

Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?



Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?

Heavy

Ain't it heavy?

Ain't the night heavy?
