Well, - a hard head-ed wom-an,

a soft heart-ed man

been the cause of trou-ble

ev-er since the world be-gan, oh yeah.

Ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, ooh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man, ah ah, ooh.

Now Ad-am told Eve:

"Lis-ten here to me,

don't you let me catch you mess-in'

'round that ap-ple tree, oh yeah."

Ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, ooh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man.

Oh yeah,

ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, ooh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man.

Now Sam-son told De-li-lah

loud and clear:

"A-keep your cot-ton-pick-in' fin-gers

out my curl-y hair, oh yeah."

Ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, oh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man,

ah ah, ooh.

I heard a-bout a king

who was do-ing swell

till he start-ed play-in'

with that e-vil Jez-e-bel, oh yeah.

Ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, ooh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man.

Ah ah, ooh, ah ah, ooh, ah ah, ooh,

ah ah, ooh, ah ah, ooh.

Ah ah, ooh, ah ah, ooh.

But I got a wom-an

a head like a rock.

If she ev-er went a-way,

I'd cry a-round the clock, oh yeah.

Ev-er since the world be-gan,

ah ah, ooh,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man,

a hard head-ed wom-an been a thorn

in the side of man.
