Paul Kelly - Difficult Woman lyrics

A difficult woman Sometimes hurts her friends when she don't mean to A difficult woman Makes it hard for the ones she loves It's easy to do She's had to be tough all of her life So she's built herself a wall She doesn't know how to trust herself So it's hard for her to trust at all A difficult woman needs a special kind of friend A difficult woman Swings between shame and pride A difficult woman Has strong, strong stuff deep inside And getting to her is no easy affair It's like working in a mine You'd better prepare to pay the price If it's treasure you want to find A difficult woman needs a special kind of friend And living with her is better and worse Than living with anyone else She can be cruel or so kind Oh you go from heaven to hell If she got what she wanted If she got what she needed She wouldn't be hard to understand A difficult woman needs a special kind of man
