best things in life lyrics

I've got a sayin' in my life that's got me by so far
Well, it may not be right but nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong
The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else
If you want somethin' done, you got to do it yourself
I'll do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me

'Cause nothin' comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they'd open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily

I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me
He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree
It would've been alright but he pushed me too far
If you're lookin' for trouble step outside of this bar
If it comes down to fistin', mister that ain't nothin' new to me

'Cause nothin' comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
But I'll open your eyes 'cause it's so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily, no no no

You'll find in this life if there's somethin' that you believe
You got to get your hands dirty when it's somethin' that you really need
If they ever give you somethin' too easily
Can't be too good 'cause nothin' good's for free
Tell you straight from the heart, a bed of roses it will never be

'Cause nothin' comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
But I'll open your eyes 'cause it's so plain to see, no no no
Nothin' comes easy, nothin' comes easy

If you'd open their eyes it'd be so plain to see
Nothin' comes easy, nothin' comes easy
If you'd open your eyes it'd be so plain to see
That the best things in life don't come so easily, oh no, ooh
