Hard Hard Woman

I travelled sixteen miles bare foot
‘cross shards of razor stone
the sun beat down on my head and on my neck
but I still went on
I reached your place ’round nightfall,
bloody ‘n’ burned ‘n’ beat
As I fell through the door a gibbering mess on the floor
You yelled “get out and wipe y’r feet”

Y’r a hard hard woman babe
Hardest woman any man dream of
So many rules ‘n regulations
No excuse I got is ever good enough.

I only get to see you twice a week
When y’r folks are out on the town
An’ then I blow my dough on hush money
’cause y’r kid sister’s allways around
An’ y’r daddy’s german shepherd’s allways tryin’ to
bite me on the crotch
But you know it’s true after one night with you
I can’t feel it all that much – Anywayyyy –

Y’r a hard hard woman babe
Hardest woman any man dream of
So many rules ‘n regulations
No excuse I got is ever good enough.

An’ I don’t know if you’ll change y’r ways
Once you’ve knocked me into line
I just know that by the time I go
I allways feel so fine
An’ one day I ain’t gunna leave it all
I’ll just tell y’r folks to screw
‘Cause there ain’t no-one babe in the world, the whole wide world
That loves me bad as you

Y’r a hard hard woman babe
Hardest woman any man dream of
So many rules ‘n regulations
No excuse I got is ever good enough

Y’r a hard hard woman babe
Hardest woman any man dream of
So many rules ‘n regulations
No excuse I got is ever good enough.
