Lyrics
I’m lookin’ for hard-headed woman
One who’ll take me for myself
And if I find my hard-headed woman
I won’t need nobody else, no, no, no
I’m lookin’ for hard-headed woman (hard-headed woman)
One who’ll make me do my best
And if I find my hard-headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed, yes (yes), yes, yes
I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on a floor
They move so smooth but have no answers (whoa, whoa, whoa-oh)
When you ask them, “Why’d you come here for? (I don’t know)
Why?”
I know many fine-feathered friends
But their friendliness depends on how you do
They know
Many sure-fire ways
To find out the one who pays
And how you do
I’m lookin’ for hard-headed woman (hard-headed woman)
One who will make me fell so good
And if I find my hard-headed woman (whoa, whoa, whoa-oh)
I know my life will be as it should, yes, yes, yes
I’m lookin’ for hard-headed woman (hard-headed woman)
One who’ll make me do my best
And if I find my hard-headed woman
