"Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was the fourth and last single to be released from their album Ring Ring, but unusually, it wasn't issued in ABBA's home-country of Sweden, but elsewhere in Scandinavia. It was coupled with "I Am Just a Girl" as its B-side upon release in 1973. The song was one of the last songs to be recorded for the album "Ring Ring".
