Lyrics Stubborn Love - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

Late at night at the bowling alley
Motown and cold beer
She was keeping score with a pencil behind her ear
She knew there was something not
Quite right, but she could not resist him
Took him home and held on tight
Hugged and kissed him

Never hid his desire to be free
That made him more appealing
Lit a fire underneath a kindling feeling
She made up her mind he was the one
Wanted more than a good time and fun
Used her powers of persuasion

Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Hard-headed woman

All the signs and the symptoms were right there
Of a stormy ill-fated love affair
They went in with eyes wide open
He was never her type, but he made her laugh
Inspired belief in a better half
Left her dreaming and kept her hoping

Then she carried his baby like a torch
Got married and then they got divorced
She always felt the fates gave her no choice

Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Hard-headed woman

Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Hard-headed woman

Some people see it coming
But instead of running
They step in the path of a hurricane
Charging like a bull
Rushing like a fool
Stepping on the track of a freight train

Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Hard-headed woman

Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Stubborn love
Hard-headed woman
Hard-headed woman
Hard-headed woman
