J J Cale Hard Love Lyrics

Hard Love Lyrics

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
