Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By

Supremes · Magnificent The Complete Studio Duets [2009]

Good lovin' ain't easy

Good lovin' ain't easy

Good lovin' ain't easy to come by



Oh, darlin', not the kind you offer me

It's just not to be found

Cause we're working on a building

Nobody can tear down

Not what we got



Good lovin' ain't easy

Good lovin' ain't easy

Good lovin' ain't easy to come by



No, no, I've tried the good life

And I know it's a playground

Where no one cares

Fun and laughs you find out there

It don't compare to what we got

It takes more than just a song and dance

You've got to work and to fight

Give it a chance



But if the rain comes down on us

And there ain't no place to run

Girl, we'll just cover ourselves

With a blanket of love

Wait till the morning comes

A blanket of tenderness and affection

Give us protection

Good lovin' ain't easy to come by



Sometimes it's just a plaything you toss away

When it's old

But we know the value increases

And it's worth more than gold

That's what we got

It ain't easy to come by

Good lovin' ain't easy to come by

Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By
