[Verse 1]
Well, a hard headed woman
A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 2]
Now Adam told to Eve
"Listen here to me
Don't you let me catch you
Messing round that apple tree"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 3]
Samson told Delilah
Loud and clear
"Keep your cotton picking fingers
Out my curly hair"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 4]
I heard about a king
Who was doin' swell
Till he started playing
With that evil Jezebel
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 5]
I got a woman
A head like a rock
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (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
Well, a hard headed woman
A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 2]
Now Adam told to Eve
"Listen here to me
Don't you let me catch you
Messing round that apple tree"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Ever since the world began
A hard headed woman
Been a thorn in the side of man
[Verse 3]
Samson told Delilah
Loud and clear
"Keep your cotton picking fingers
Out my curly hair"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Oh yeah (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
