And I been here before
You know I'm a hard lovin woman
Who needs a hard lovin man
One who can stick around baby
One who won't walk out that door
Cause I'm a hard lovin woman baby
And I just can't find a lovin man who can take me no 
more

father yeah
And he says to me now now now now listen listen listen

You better take a look around and get a hold of 
yourself woman
And embrace what you've become
Cause you're too much for them
And I said aw papa papa papa papa papa papa please aw 
And that?s all I am and I need a hard lovin man who?s 
gonna take me home now

of yourself woman and
Just tell them what you feel yeah
