True Love Don’t Come Easy

Spoken Interlude:
You know there's always a lot of talk about young marriages
I remember when I was a young man
And growing up in the South
Wasn’t too many things for a young man to do
As a matter of fact, I can only think of two
And one was working hard and the other was getting married
I remember I found this girl that I wanted to marry
And I went home and told Mama
And she smiled that old wise smile, that Mother's smile
And proceeded to tell me about the facts of life, she said

You seem to think
That in just these few things
You and the girl have shared enough
To changе all you ways
But you've only been through love’s introduction
It can lead you to lovе's destruction

You better hold out
See what tomorrow brings
Clear skies today, but tomorrow that might change
All that you hoped for will be gone in a day
Oh my child, don't rush things this way cause

True love don't come easy
True love don't come easy

And you must know
That I'm a little wiser than you
And I can tell you some of the heartaches
That I've been through
And I know you think my advice ain't worth a whole lot
But it’s cheap at the price
You can believe it or not

If you get confused
Between your wants and your needs
Oh, you’ll get used and you'll never succeed
I think it’ll be wise to sit down and think it over
True love is like finding a four leaf clover

True love don't come easy
True love don't come easy
True love ain't that easy to come by (Bye Bye Baby)
To come by (Bye Bye Baby)

Let me explain
Why I’m taking so much time
You think it's your heart
But it might be your mind
And in years to come when the physical love is gone
You'll need a true friend
Someone you can lean on

True love don't come easy
True love don't come easy
