Standing on your window, honey, Yes I've been here before.
Feeling so harmless, I'm looking at your second door.
How come you don't send me no regards ?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, why are you so hard ?
Kneeling 'neath your ceiling, Yes, I guess I'll be here for a while.
I tryin' to read your portrait, but, I'm helpless, like a rich man's child.
How come you send someone out to have me barred ?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, why are you so hard ?
Like a poor fool in his prime, Yes, I know you can hear me walk,
But is your heart made of stone, or is it lime,
Or is it just solid rock ?
Well, I rush into your hallway, Lean against your velvet door.
I watch upon your scorpion Who crawls across your circus floor.
Just what do you think you have to guard ?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, but you're so hard.
Chiles is in your alleyway, He don't want me here, He does brag.
He's pointing to the sky And he's hungry like a man in drag.
How come you get someone like him to be your guard ?
You know I want your lovin'
Honey, but you're so hard.
