Ain’t It Heavy Lyrics

Melissa Etheridge

Sometimes I know that its never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and Im on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
Theres some things you cant deny
What is it about this human condition
I need some kind of promise
Some kind of submission tonight
Heavy
Aint it heavy
Aint the night heavy
Im feelin kinda loose Im feelin kinda mean
Ive been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
Theres a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
Ive been ripping out seams
Somebody else made tonight
Heavy
Aint it heavy
Aint the night heavy
