Hard Love - JJ Cale

Shirley down the street she gets so lonesome

She calls around to men on the phone, some

Hopin' one will show up at her door

She don’t care, just where they come from

Where they’ve been, just if they want some

Give it to her straight, she want to score

She needs hard love

Hard love

She wants a hard love, just to make her day

Handsome Bill sales cars for a livin'

He’s not the takin' kind, he’s the givin'

He likes his women real firm, and real tight

Bill don’t want no conversations, small 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 love, to 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
