Hard Luck Woman

About Hard Luck Woman

"Hard Luck Woman" is a song by American hard rock band Kiss and the lead single from their 1976 album, Rock and Roll Over. It was originally written by Paul Stanley as a possible track for Rod Stewart, but after the success of the ballad "Beth", Kiss decided to keep it for themselves as a follow-up. Stanley has stated his admiration and love of Stewart's music numerous times, and that "Hard Luck Woman" was inspired by Rod Stewart, in particular the songs "Maggie May" and "You Wear It Well". While Stewart's music served as a partial inspiration for the song, the nautical themed song "Brandy" by American pop-rock band Looking Glass served as Stanley's main inspiration. Sung by Peter Criss, the single was an attempt to follow the success of the hit single "Beth" released earlier in the year by releasing another love song sung by Criss. It proved to be a Top 20 hit in the US, peaking at number 15. A version of "Hard Luck Woman" appears on Kiss's 1977 Alive II album; however, it was later revealed that the song was recorded in an empty warehouse with an audience overdubbed, rather than an actual live recording. Kiss also performed the song during their MTV Unplugged appearance with Stanley on vocals. It did not appear on the CD of the performance, but it was one of five bonus tracks on the DVD. more »

If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first hello
We'd never have to say goodbye

If never I held you
My feeling's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know

I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about ya
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'till you find your man

Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't want to hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie

I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'till you find your man

Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about ya
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'till you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'till you find your man

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
Bye, bye my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh
