Well a hard headed woman,

hearted man

Oh

If she was my girl
I'd run I wouldn't walk.
Oh yeah, ever
since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of
man.
"Hard Headed Woman" is an American 12-bar blues written by African American songwriter Claude Demetrius. It was most notably recorded as a rock and roll song by Elvis Presley as part of the soundtrack for his 1958 motion picture King Creole, and was included on the record album of the same name. The song was also released as a 45rpm single and in 1958 went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. It became the first rock and roll single to earn the RIAA designation of Gold Record.
