Lovin' Ain't Been Easy On My Mind

”

I found a little puppy cold and hungry
Took it home for tender, lovin’ care
As soon as it was better, it chewed up my best sweater
And cocked its leg upon my easy chair

Chorus Lovin’ ain’t been easy on my mind, no, no
I’d even say it’s been down right unkind
It’s been shakin’ me and breakin’ me
For such a long, long time
Hey, lovin’ ain’t been easy on my mind

When I was young I had myself a girlfriend
A little girl as cute as she could be
When I got the nerve to kiss ‘er, I got chased by her big sister
Her mom and dad and the whole darned family

Repeat Chorus

When I grew older Daddy came to visit
He said “I love you son, don’t you know”
We embraced each other, he thought I was my brother
The one who owns the bank in Kokomo

Repeat Chorus

Optional The next time that that ol’ love bug comes a-callin’
Verse I’ll squeeze him ‘till he turns blue in the face
I’ll raise a big commotion, until he gets the notion
That I don’t want him hangin’ round my place

Repeat Chorus
