It Don't Come Easy

It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Open up your heart, let's come together,
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better.

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don't come easy.

Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it.

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don't come easy.

"Thank you!"
"Yes, what's my name?" - RINGO!
"Is anybody out there?"
"What's my name?" - RINGO!
"That's better!"

"Yes, I love all the stars, yes, I love it all, all the lights, hewie-hewie-hewie-hewie!"
"Okay, just to let you know what happens here, my name is Ringo and these are the All-Starrs!
And has you?...Has you!?...Have you...hoy-a-hoy-a-hoy..ha, ha, ha...
Okay, got me teeth fixed no but my lips don't work.
Anyway, like you to see I come on a do a few numbers and the band do numbers and I'll come back
And you really get the idea as the night unfolds.
But tonight we're gonna start with the Grand Funk man himself, Mark Farner!"

[ending dialogue for VH1 Storytellers]

Thank you! Thank you! Peace and love, peace and love. Ah, the next number we're gonna do is the first track tonight from my new album called "Vertical Man" and it's called "I Was Walkin'"
