Nobody said that it would be this easy
Nobody said that it would be this hard
Had my share of long turns along the way
Just to get this far
Spinning my wheels, wanting it so bad, yeah
Wanting this thing that I never had
Now that love's staring in my face
I let go of the old and let the new take its place
Love doesn't happen by itself
You got to work for it
Happiness ain't given to you
You got to aim for it
Had to learn to love myself
Before I could love somebody else
Been thru a lot to get this far
At times I didn't see and end
A lot of lessons learned along the way
You make a girl like me forget my yesterday
Now all my girls say I have a glow
And when they ask me what it is to know
I say it's love
Love doesn't happen by itself
You got to work for it
Happiness ain't given to you
You got to aim for it
Love and Happiness
Must Work for it
Lessons along the way
I've learned them
If you wait on love it's gonna come
Love doesn't happen by itself
You got to work for it
Happiness ain't given to you
You got to aim for it
