No Pain, (No Gain)

Ooh

My baby and are back together again

Lovin' is better than it's ever been

If it weren't for the trials we've been through

I'd never have the courage to come back to you

We're all entitled to make a mistake

We got to prepare for some heartbreak

I as earnin' my man, while I was learnin' my man

Something you young girls might not understand

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain), no

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (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 pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain), mm

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (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

Mm-mm, 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 pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

Oh, no pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

See, you can't give up 'cause times get hard

It's just that old devil trying to keep us apart

Say devil you ain't getting nothin' here

I'm holding to my man and have no fear

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

No, no pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

No, no pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

No, no, no, no, no pain (no pain, no pain)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no pain (no gain)

No, no pain, no, no pain (no pain), no, no pain (no pain), no pain (no gain),no pain

No pain (no pain, no pain, no gain)

In order to get something (no pain), give something (no pain)

To be something (no gain) you gotta go through something

(No pain, no pain, no gain)

Oh, no pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (no pain)

No, no, no, no (no pain, no gain)

No, no pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

You're really not to gain anything (no pain, no pain)

Without (no gain) goin' through some pain

No, no, no, no (no pain), no, no, no, no, no, no,(no pain)

No, no, no, no, no, no, (no gain)

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

(No gain)

(No pain, no pain, no gain)

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No pain (no gain), no gain, no pain, no gain

Get something (no pain, no pain)

You got to go through something (no gain)

No pain (no pain), no pain (no pain)

No gain (no gain)

Hear me when I say no pain, no gain (no pain), no pain, no gain (no pain)
