"It Don't Come Easy" was released as an Apple Records single by Ringo Starr in April 1971, reaching number four in both the U.S. and UK singles charts. It was Starr's first solo single in the UK, but his second in the US (the first was "Beaucoups of Blues"), following the breakup of The Beatles. Starr reportedly composed the song in 1970. Decades later, he admitted that the song's producer George Harrison "co-wrote" the song (as he did with other hits such as "Photograph").

IT DON'T COME EASY

It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy
It don't come easy
You know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy

You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon by your tomorrow

I don't ask for much I only want trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it just ain't easy

Open up your heart Let's come together
Use a little luck
And we will make it work out better
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy

You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Please remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it

I don't ask for much I only want trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
