Harder That Your Husband
Frank Zappa · Other Songs - Frank Zappa
there's no need for you to cry
it's better that I tell you this tonight
our affair has been quite heated
you thought I was what you needed
but the time has come my darlin
to set things right
Chorus
I'll be harder than your husband
to get along with
Harder than your husband
every night
I'll be harder than your husband
Harder than your husband
and I don't want our love affair to end with a fight
you've been like a little angel
and I appreciate the warmth of your embrace
well, the world don't need to know how I adore you
but the time has come my darlin
to tell you this face to face
Chorus
and so it's adios, adios
my little darlin
keep that hanky that I gave you when you cry
there are things that trouble me
and I'm sure that you must see
that it breaks my heart the same as yours
when we say goodbye
Harder than your husband
Harder than your
much, much, much
Harder than your husband
Harder than your
much, much, much
Harder than your husband
Harder than your
much, much, much
Harder than your husband
Harder than your
much, much, much
