Now Adam told to Eve

"Listen here to me

don't you let me catch you

messin' round that apple tree."

Oh yeah ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been

a thorn in the side of man.



Now Samson told Delilah

loud and clear,

"Keep your cotton pickin' 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 doin' 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
