Lyrics

Well, a hard headed womanA soft hearted manBeen the cause of troubleEver since the world began
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
Adam told Eve“Listen here to meDon’t you let me catch youMessing ’round that apple tree”
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
Samson told DelilahLoud and clear“Keep your cotton picking fingersOut my curly hair”
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
I heard about a kingWho was doing swell‘Til he started playingWith that evil Jezebel
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
I got a womanA head like a rockIf she ever went awayI’d cry around the clock
Oh yeah (oh yeah)Ever since the world beganA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of manA hard headed womanBeen a thorn in the side of man
