Well a hard headed woman, a soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble ever since the world began
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man

Now Adam told to Eve
Listen here to me
Don't you let me catch you messin' round that apple tree
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man

Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man
Now Samson told Delilah loud and clear
Keep your cotton pickin' fingers out my curly hair
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man

I heard about a king who was doin' swell
'Till he started playing with that evil Jezebel
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man

I got a woman, a head like a rock
If she ever went away I'd cry around the clock
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man

A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man
