Lyrics by gary osborne

Available on the album a single man





It ain't gonna be easy from now on

You've been messing around while i've been gone

But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind

Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind



It ain't gonna be easy i can tell

Just how empty i'm feeling you know damn well

I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start

Look out honey you're playing with my heart





It ain't gonna be easy that's for sure

Changing things back the way they were before

Once you've lifted the lid on such pain

It ain't easy to put it back again





It ain't gonna be easy to forget

You've been seeing a man that i ain't met

I'm telling you that it ain't gonna be easy from the start

Look out baby, you're playing with my heart





It ain't gonna be so easy this time around

Turning back the clock on what's 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 ain't gonna be easy that's no lie

But if you're willing to try it so am i

It ain't gonna be so easy from the start

You better look out darling, you're playing with my heart
