All my friends are jealous,
'cause you're still lovin' me,
but keeping love alive
hasn't been easy.
Our folks tried to tell us
a long, long time ago,
that love takes time and
tender care to grow.

We work hard to make love easy,
we practice every day
to get love right.
We work hard to make love easy,
and we're gonna work a little
harder on love tonight.

Sometimes when I'm angry,
I take it out on you.
And you smile and forgive me
because you want to.
Your touch helps me remember
a lesson that we've learned.
You've gotta give love
to get love in return.

Oh we work hard to make love easy,
we practice every day
to get love right.
We work hard to make love easy,
and we're gonna work a little
harder on love tonight.

Well we've suffered through
our share of heartaches
all along the way.
But each one made us stronger,
and now I'm proud to say

We work hard to make love easy
(make things easy now),
we practice every day
to get love right.
We work hard to make love easy
(oh make things easy),
and we're gonna work a
little harder on love tonight,

we're gonna work a little
harder on love tonight.

Oh we work hard to make love easy
(oh make things easy now),
we practice every day
to get love right.
We work hard to make love easy
(so much better now),
and we're gonna work a
little harder on love tonight.
