Hard Lovin` Woman — текст песни (Mark Collie)

Everybody said Bobby was a little hard-headed.
If there ever was a book on love, Bobby never read it.
Suzy was a poor boy`s dream in a high school sweater.
She was ready to run but her Daddy wouldn`t let her.
She told her Momma how she loved her man,
She said: "Daddy don`t understand."
While she was cryin`, Momma shook her head.
She took her by the hand and said:

"It takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman,
"To love a hard-headed man."

Bobby got a job at the west end fillin` station.
He was savin` for a diamond ring after graduation.
Suzy`s old man came by for some gas and water.
He said: "Boy, stay away from my daughter."
That night, by the light of the moon,
Bobby climbed up to Suzy`s room.
Momma saw `em pullin` out of the drive,
But she didn`t wake up Daddy this time.

It takes a hard lovin` woman;
Takes a hard lovin` woman;
Takes a hard lovin` woman,
To love a hard-headed man.

The June weddin` was a big affair.
Daddy even bought a tux to wear.
The preacher told `em, as he joined their hands:
"Love when you hurt; laugh when you can;
"Keep hangin` on till you understand:

"It takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman,
"To love a hard-headed man.

"Takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman;
"Takes a hard lovin` woman,
"To love a hard-headed man."
