Song: Hard as Diamonds

.
Let me see if I understand

what you’re saying to me baby
I’m comin’ to you with my hat in my hand,
you say you’ll talk to me maybe

Well, you’re so hard,
you’re so hard
Honey, you’re so hard
baby, why are you so hard?

Let me see if I’ve got it right,
what you think about me, Honey
You think I’m cute, but I’m not too bright,
the way I’m a fool about my money

Well she’s so hard
Mother Truth is so hard
but, Baby, why are you so hard,
why are you so hard?

Well, you’re as hard as diamonds
and your heart is black as coal
I say, please, please, I’m on my knees
and you say I need a bigger money roll

Ah, we had a fallin’ out I know
but I think I fell the farthest
I dropped like a man fallin’ from the moon,
my head clogged up with stardust

and I found that you’re so hard
Oh Baby, you’re so hard
Ah Honey, why are you so hard?
Why are you so hard?

Oh, now I think it’s comin’ through,
I mean how you view our situation
You say the men are many but the nights are few
and that you need a long vacation

You’re so hard
Oh Baby, you’re so hard
You’re so hard
Honey, why are you so hard?

Well, you’re as hard as diamonds
and your heart is black as coal,
I say, please, please, I’m on my knees

and you answer, I’m too young
well, you say that you’re too young,
well, Baby, either you’re too young
or I’m too old

—oh no, oh no!
I can’t be too old
