Shirley down the street she gets so lonesome

She calls around to men on the phonesome

Hopin' one will show up at her door

She don't carejust where they come from

Where they've beenjust if they want some

Give it to her straightshe want to score

She needs hard love

Hard love

She wants a hard lovejust to make her day

Handsome bill sales cars for a livin'

He's not the takin' kindhe's the givin'

He likes his women real firmand real tight

Bill don't want no conversationssmall talk or consultations

He don't want no long relation just one night

He needs a hard love

He wants a hard love

He needs a hard loveto make his day

Chances are if you're feeling lonely

And you miss your one and only

You'll only care for that easy exercise

You know what I'm talkin' about

That no feeling in and out

You gonna have to improvise

If you want a hard love

You need a hard love

Hard love
