Lyrics:

“Ain’t It Heavy” won the Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance in 1993.
Sometimes I know that it's never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
There's some things you can't deny

What is it about this human condition?
I need some kind of promise
Some kind of submission tonight

Heavy
Ain't it heavy?
Ain't the night heavy?
Heavy
Ain't it heavy?
Ain't the night heavy?

I'm feelin' kinda loose, I'm feelin' kinda mean
I've been feelin' kinda wild since I've 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'?

There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I've been rippin' out seams
Somebody else made tonight

Heavy
Ain't it heavy?
Ain't the night heavy?
Heavy
Ain't it heavy?
Ain't the night heavy?

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, so heavy
This woman needs
This woman needs
Some peace
Please
Please, please, it's never enough

(Heavy) Mmm, you feel so
Feel so (Heavy)
Feels (Ain't the night heavy?) so, so
Tonight (Heavy)
Tonight (Ain't the night heavy?)
Hey
(Heavy, heavy, ain't the night heavy?)
It feels so heavy
(Heavy) Heavy, heavy (Heavy)
Oh, so heavy (Ain't the night heavy?)
This night is so (Heavy, heavy)
Night is so hard (Ain't the night heavy?)
It's so heavy (Heavy, heavy)
Ain't the night heavy?
Come on, come on
Come on (Heavy, heavy)
So heavy (Ain't the night heavy?)
Oh, oh (Heavy, heavy, ain't the night heavy?)
(Heavy, heavy, ain't the night heavy?)
