"Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" is a country-rock song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA.[1] 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.[2] 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. "Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)" was the first and last Polar single to be issued as 'Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida'.
The song tells of a lovers quarrel, and that while love isn't easy, it sure is hard enough.[3]
