Ooh-ooh-ooh
My baby and I
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 was earnin' my man
while I was learnin' my man
Something you young girls
might not understand
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 a 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 their 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 street
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
Oh no pain
no pain
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 on 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-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 gotta 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-no
no-no-no-no-no
No pain
no pain
Brrrr ooh
Brrrr ooh oh
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
