Good Lovin' Ain't Easy to Come By Songtext
von Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Good lovin′ ain't easy
Good lovin′ ain't easy
Good loving ain't easy to come by

Oh, darling, that′s the kind you offer me
It′s just the love to be found
'Cause we′re working on a building nobody can tear down
Oh, knock what we've got, uh-uh-uh-uh (huh)

Good loving ain′t easy, ah, uh
Good loving ain't easy, darling
Good loving ain′t easy to come by, oh no, no

I've tried the good life and I know
It's a playground where no one cares (no one)
But at last, you′ll find out that don′t compare
To what we've got, honey


It takes more than just a song and dance
You′ve got to work and fight to give it a chance
Oh, but if the rain comes down on us, and there ain't no place to run
We′ll just cover ourselves with a blanket of love
Wait 'til the morning comes
Oh, a blanket of tenderness
And affection
Give us protection

Good loving ain′t easy to come by
Some think it's just a plaything
You can toss away when it's old
But when all the value increases
It is worth more than gold
That′s what we′ve got, oh, oh, oh

It ain't easy to come by (well, it ain′t easy, oh, girl, girl, to come by)
Oh, oh, oh, good lovin' (ooh, good lovin′, good lovin', good)
Ain′t easy, no, to come by (lovin', honey, girl, it ain't easy)
(Hey, girl, to come by)
Ooh, ooh, good lovin′ (oh, whoa!)
Ain′t easy, no, to come by (oh, oh, ain't easy, good lovin′ to come by)
No, Marvin, good lovin' (oh, whoa! Good lovin′, good lovin')
Ain′t easy, no, oh, no, no (whoa! No, no, good lovin' ain't easy to come by)
