This life is a hard road to travel,
but I know I got to keep on trying.
My life is a hard road to travel,
Lord, I know I got to keep on trying.
I try to be a nice to everybody,
but my friends seem to leave me by.
They told me love don't love nobody.
Now they get to leave this story true,
they said don't nobody loves nobody.
Sometimes I wanna believe that this story is true,
but baby, I wanna have a little faith.
You know, I try to put a little faith in you.
Love don't love nobody.
Lord in heaven, you know I try.
Oh baby, you know I have faith and I try.
I can't get no thanks back,
all I got to love is my eyes full of tears.
This life is hard,
but you just can't go on and give up,
it's a hard road to travel,
but you just can't go on, lay down and give up.
Why, you know, you can't turn away,
cause every man got it all up in a cup.
