Album: Unleashed
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"
