Hard to Love a Woman
Ain't it hard to love a woman
When that woman don't love you
Just tell me if I'm the truth or not

I said, ain't it hard to love a woman
When that woman, she don't love you
Just listen [Incomprehensible] I'm tellin' the truth

You know, she have your poor mind, no, no wonder
Oh Lord and you don't know one word you wanna do

She said go ahead and tell it true, son
Yes, I said, I just might at will
She said go ahead on and tell it true, son
I said, baby, I just might at will

She said what you gonna tell me this time?
I said, if you woman don't quit
Treating us man like you do
Oh Lord, you gonna burn in, burn in hell

You know, I'll give you all my money
Tell me what more can I do
I'll give you all my money
Tell me what more can I do
Well, just like you treat poor Sam
Someone gonna treat you the same way too, Lord, have mercy

I did hate to be standing 'round crying
Over something I really love
I just hate to be standing 'round crying
Gee, see oh something that I really love

Oh, I be loving that woman
Oh girl, maybe somewhere loving you
