It Ain't Easy Lyrics

Lyric discussion by LungilHagfishl 

Cover art for It Ain't Easy lyrics by David Bowie

"I've got the love of a hoochie koochie woman She calling from inside"

"The hoochie coochie was a sexually provocative belly dance term" : from wiki. She's a-calling from INSIDE Trying to get to you All the woman really wants you can give her something too

I think it's Bowie expressing the feminine component of his bisexualiy and the guilt/ / inner delight associated with a sexually (more so in the 70's) repressive society

"It ain't easy, it ain't easy It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down"

@LungilHagfishl He didn't write this song, it's a cover. But at the same time, he may have related to the lyrics and that's why he chose to cover this particular song. Good interpretation.
