[Verse 1]
She asks me 'round to have a bite to eat
When i get there, she's invited the street
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me
I tell her that i'd rather be alone
She gets the car and says she'll drive me home
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me

[Chorus]
Now, take a night, like the night we met
I was drinking in the bar, just trying to forget
When she comes home and says, "you're looking blue."
I said, "with my problems so, wouldn't you?"

[Verse 2]
She takes me home and slips on something cool
She gives me kisses where she don't as a rule
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me
Take it away, sugar!
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
She takes me home and slips on something cool
She let me kiss her where she don't as a rule
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me
She gives me hard times
But when she loves me, she loves me

[Outro]
She give me, she give me such hard times, [x7]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
