Hard Man’s Blues. (song lyric)

When my baby hits me
I stand and take it like a man.
When the lady hurts me
I hide it from her’s best I can.
When she said she was leavin’
I just made new plans.

When she said she was leavin’
I just up and turned my back
No time to spend a grievin’
No use dressin’ all in black.
So now she thinks I’m a hard man but she
Can’t see through my act.

Ch

I’m just an ordinary man
With ordinary needs
I’m hard on the outside
But that’s all she sees
I’m just an ordinary guy
With ordinary desires and needs.
So when my baby cuts me
Then for sure I’ll bleed.

Baby didn’t think twice
when she came to tell the news
She was as cold as ice
When she sliced my heart in two
I wouldn’ let her see
But she gave me them hard man’s blues.

ch

I’m just an ordinary man, etc…

A hard man’s blues
Are colder and tougher than steel
No matter what’s true
I can’t show the world what’s real
When a hard man’s got the blues
No-one can know how he feels.

I’m just an ordinary man
With ordinary needs
I’m hard on the outside
But that’s all she sees
I’m just an ordinary guy
With ordinary desires and needs.
So when my baby cuts me
Then for sure I’ll bleed.
