Produced and arranged by Osborne “Ifield” Joseph and Roger Meltzer

Ad lib lead over intro- You’re makin’ it harder

(Girl,) you’re makin’ it harder



Verse- Diff’rent bodies…diff’rent names

I used to think they were all the same

There were no tears… I felt no shame

There were no rules…it was only a game



Lift- Find ‘em, forget ‘em, might be the mark of a man (oooh)

But never regret ‘em was the law (oooh) in my land…



Chorus- It’s gettin’ harder (harder and harder)…to say no to you (no, baby)

I’m gettin’ closer (closer and closer)…to sayin’ I do



Verse- Diff’rent girl in every town

I’d pick one up and put two down

Playing the field…trav’lin’ around

The very next day I just couldn’t be found



Lift- Find ‘em, forget ‘em, might be the mark of a man (oooh)

But never regret ‘em…was the law (oooh) in my land…



Chorus- It’s gettin’ harder (harder and harder) and harder…to say no to you

I’m gettin’ farther (farther and farther) and farther….from all I once knew

tellin’ you



You’re makin’ it (harder and harder) and harder…to say no to you (no, baby)

I’m gettin’ closer (closer and closer) and closer…to sayin’ I do….really love you



Musical interlude/guitar ride from verse groove



Repeat chorus…You’re makin’ it, you’re makin’ it



Bkgds repeat chorus melody-Harder and harder…to say no…to you

Farther and farther…from all I one knew

Harder and harder…to say no to you

Closer and closer…to sayin’…I do
