Melissa Etheridge Lyrics
"Ain't It Heavy"

Sometimes I know that it's never enough.
Survival is fine, but satisfaction is rough.
I try with an angel tonight.
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride.
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides.
There's some things you can't deny.

What is it about this human condition.
I need some kind of promise,
Some kind of submission tonight.

Heavy. Ain't it heavy.
Ain't the night heavy.
Heavy. Ain't it heavy.
Ain't the night heavy.

I'm feeling kinda loose, I'm feeling kinda mean.
I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen
Or is it madness, baby.
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace.
When does the fury end and the agony cease?
How long have I got to say please?

There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade.
I've been ripping out seams somebody else made tonight.

Heavy. Ain't it heavy.
Ain't the night heavy.
Heavy. Ain't it heavy.
Ain't the night heavy.

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
So heavy, 'cause a woman needs...
Yes, a woman needs some peace please.
Please, please, it's never enough.
(Heavy.) Mmmm, you feel so...feel so
(Heavy.) Feels so, so...(Ain't the night heavy.)
Tonight. (Heavy.)
Tonight. (Ain't the night heavy.)

Hey...................(Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.)
Hey, it feels so heavy.
Heavy, heavy. (Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.)
Oh, so heavy.
This night is so...(Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.)
This night is so hard.
It's so heavy. (Heavy, hevay. Ain't the night heavy.)
Ain't the night heavy. Come on, come on.
Uh, uh. So hard. (Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.)
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Ain't the night heavy. (Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.)
Heavy, heavy. Ain't the night heavy.
