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.



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.
