No pain, no pain No gain, no No pain, no pain No gain There was an old lady sittin' under a tree She called me over and she said to me “My days left here may not be long I wouldn't waste my time tellin' you nothin' wrong But love is a flower that needs the sun and the rain A little bit of pleasure's worth a whole lot of pain If you learn this secret, how to forgive A longer and better life you'll live†No pain, no pain No gain, mmm No pain, no pain No gain Anything worth havin' at all Is worth workin' for and waitin' for Some of my closest friends Have thought they had their thing on a string Just ‘cause that man was bringin' ‘em flowers and candy and all kinds of gifts Mmm, mmm, honey Some gifts are just to make him feel better while he's on his guilt trip About the night before You know what I mean Especially when you know you haven't been doin' the things you should do Think about it What is the man tryin' to tell you Sometimes flowers mean “Maybe we should just be friends†Do you get my drift Hang if you can hang No pain, no gain In order to get something You got to give something In order to be something You got to go through something Be a cook in the kitchen, a lady in the streets You can't show your teeth to every guy you meet It's alright to be a little sweet But be a mama with the kids and you know what in the sheets No pain No pain No gain See, you can't give up ‘cause times get hard It's just that old evil devil trying to keep us apart Say devil you ain't getting nothin' here I'm holding on to my man and have no fear No pain, no pain No gain, oh No pain, no pain No gain See you can't give up ‘cause times get hard It's just that old devil tryin' keep us apart Say devil, you ain't got nothin' here I'm holdin' to my man, and have no fear No pain, no pain No gain No-no pain, no pain No gain Oh, no pain, no pain No gain No-no-no-no pain, no-no-no-no-no-no-no pain No-no pain, no-no pain, no-no pain, no pain, no pain No pain In order to get something, give something To be something you got to go through something Oh... no pain, no pain No gain No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no No-no-no-no No... no pain, no pain No gain You're really not to gain anything Without goin' through some pain No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no No pain, no pain No-no No pain, no pain No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain Get something You got to go through something No pain, no pain No gain Hear me when I say no pain, no gain, no pain, no gain No pain, no gain
