| It’s not pretty no
|
| It ain’t pretty at all
|
| (it ain’t pretty no, it ain’t pretty no)
|
| I hear my mama say
|
| Living ain’t easy, no
|
| Living ain’t easy at all
|
| (it ain’t easy no, it ain’t easy no)
|
| All day and night she spends
|
| Tending her seven children
|
| Imagine the pressure that she bears
|
| So many mouths to feed
|
| Trying to give each one just what they need
|
| Don’t wanna listen when she says
|
| (mama never want me to beg now)
|
| It’s not pretty no
|
| It ain’t pretty at all
|
| (it ain’t pretty no, it ain’t pretty no)
|
| I hear my mama say
|
| Living ain’t easy, no
|
| Living ain’t easy at all
|
| (it ain’t easy no, it ain’t easy no)
|
| She struggles and strives
|
| Working from nine to five
|
| Somehow she kept us all going
|
| Always told us to stick together
|
| Each one must help another
|
| Hopin' we’ll listen when she says
|
| (And I can feel it when she sings)
|
| It’s not pretty no
|
| It ain’t pretty at all
|
| (it ain’t pretty no, it ain’t pretty no)
|
| I hear my mama say
|
| Living ain’t easy, no
|
| Living ain’t easy at all
|
| (It ain’t easy no, it ain’t easy no)
|
| I tell my mama don’t worry, I tell my mama don’t cry |
| I tell my mama don’t worry, I tell my mama just chill
|
| I tell my mama don’t worry, I tell my mama don’t cry
|
| I tell my mama don’t worry, I tell my mama just chill
|
| Sometimes I feel like I’m going no where
|
| Sometimes I feel like I know nobody cares
|
| But I’m going turn my life around
|
| Pick my head up off the ground
|
| And I am not gonna stop just because I’m feeling down
|
| All you women talk about independence
|
| Do you really know what it means to be strong?
|
| Single for a week just to boost your confidence
|
| But another week later he’ll be back (ding dong)
|
| It’s not pretty no
|
| It ain’t pretty at all
|
| (it ain’t pretty no, it ain’t pretty no)
|
| I hear my mama say
|
| Living ain’t easy, no
|
| Living ain’t easy at all
|
| (it ain’t easy no, it ain’t easy no) |
