It was Starr’s first solo single in the UK, but his second in the US (the first was “Beaucoups of Blues“), following the breakup of The Beatles. Starr reportedly composed the song in 1970. Decades later, he admitted that the song’s producer George Harrison “co-wrote“ the song (as he did with other hits such as “Photograph“). =========================================== IT DON’T COME EASY It don’t come easy You know it don’t come easy It don’t come easy You know it don’t come easy Got to pay your dues if you want to 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 Forget about the past and all your sorrow The future won’t last It will soon by your tomorrow I don’t ask for much I only want trust And you know it don’t come easy And this love of mine keeps growing all the time And you know it just ain’t easy Open up your heart Let’s come together Use a little luck And we will make it work out better Got to pay your dues if you want to 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 Please 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 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 -------------------------------------------------------------
