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 Messing round that apple tree Oh yeah, ever since the world began A hard headed woman been A thorn in the side of man. Ever since the world began A hard headed woman Now Samson told Delilah Loud and clear, Keep your cotton picking 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 doing 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 A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man
