[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Break my back with hard loving
Take my hand and keep moving
Don't slow down, we're nearly there now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Can you stand the pain? Oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Verse 2]
What's your name? It's alright now
Trick or treat, we're uptight now
Wanna feel you, I wanna hear you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Here we go again, oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Come back here, it's not over
Can't you see there's still time, girl?
I can last, make it fast now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Gotta catch a train, oh
[Refrain]
I'm a hard loving man
[Guitar Solo/Outro]
