Lyrics

Well a hard headed woman,

a soft hearted man

been the cause of trouble

ever since the world began.

Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been

a thorn in the side of man.

Now Adam told to Eve,

“Listen here to me,

don’t you let me catch you

messin’ round that apple tree.”

Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been

a thorn in the side of man.

Now Samson told Delilah

loud and clear,

“Keep your cotton pickin’ fingers

out my curly hair.”

Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been

a thorn in the side of man.

I heard about a king

who was doin’ swell

till he started playing

with that evil Jezebel.

Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.

I got a woman,

a head like a rock.

If she ever went away

I’d cry around the clock.

Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a hard headed woman been

a thorn in the side of man.

Elvis Aaron Presley, often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll,” was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, USA. He rose to prominence in the mid-1950s, becoming one of the most iconic and influential figures in the history of popular music. Presley’s musical journey began at an early age when he started singing in church and listening to various genres of music, including gospel, blues, and country. In 1954, he signed a recording contract with Sun Records, where he began his career blending elements of rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and country music. His breakthrough came with the release of his first single, “That’s All Right,” followed by a string of hits such as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” and “Jailhouse Rock.” With his charismatic stage presence, distinctive voice, and provocative dance moves, Presley captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, revolutionizing the music industry and popular culture. Presley’s impact extended beyond music; he also found success as an actor, starring in a series of films throughout the 1960s. Despite his commercial success, he faced criticism from some quarters for his crossover into mainstream entertainment and the perceived dilution of his musical authenticity. Throughout his career, Presley struggled with the pressures of fame, leading to personal challenges, including substance abuse and health issues. Despite these obstacles, he remained a beloved figure, revered for his contributions to music and his enduring legacy. Tragically, Elvis Presley passed away on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate with generations of fans. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and his music remains a timeless testament to his enduring talent and cultural impact.
