Love Is Hard Work - Van Morrison

Love is hard work

That’s a fact

Think you’re moving forward, but it’s setback after setback

Love is hard work

That’s an actual fact

Think you’re moving forward, but it’s setback after setback

No such thing as standard

No such thing as norm

Think you know a thing, your sanity is gone

Love is hard work

Baby, that’s a fact

Think you’re moving forward, but it’s setback after setback

Some people say, love’s a mug’s game

Feel like leaving on a midnight train

Trying to play your part, love stings as it becomes fun

Love is hard work

Now it’s got me on the run

Love is hard work

Baby, that’s a fact

Two steps forward and three steps back

Love is hard work

Now, man, that’s a fact

Think you’re moving, but it’s setback after setback

Love is hard work

Baby, that’s a fact

Two steps forward and three steps back

Love is hard work

That’s an actual fact

When you think you’re moving forward, it’s setback after setback

Some people say, love’s a mug’s game

Feel like leaving on a midnight train

Oh, but I got to double back

Double back

Love is hard work

Now baby, that’s a fact

Fact, fact, fact

Love is hard work

Love is hard work

Love is hard work

Baby, that’s a fact

When you think you’re moving, it’s setback after setback
