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
