*** Inspired by Alex Ayers’ ideas on Post Lyricism (see https://suno.com/song/c1eed861-6cd7-4820-87ba-5ba5394b7e15). *** [Verse 1] Met my baby in a backroom dive, Smokin’ gin and gasoline alive. She stole my wallet, cracked my jaw, Still I followed when she hissed, “Let’s raw.” Hard love, black glove, Blood on the barroom floor. Hard love, mean shove, And I keep crawlin’ back for more. She’s my vice, my loaded gun, Ain’t no quittin’ what she’s begun. [Verse 2] She kissed me sharp with a razor grin, Pulled me howlin’ through her house of sin. Police beat me but I laughed out loud, ‘Cause I’d do it again, just to make her proud. (Bop-sha-b-b-bop, sha-la-doo-waaahhhhhh, pr-pr-prPROUD!) [Chorus] Hard love, black glove, (Doo-wah-do-wahhh-ooooooohhhhooo) She’s a viper in my bed. Hard love, mean shove, (Shoo-doo-wah-sha-na-na-zztttover-my-head) Got me bleedin’, beggin’, sore, But I keep scratchin’ at her do-o-o-o-rrrrrrr. [Bridge] (Ho-ho-ho-ho, yeah-yeah-yeah!) Hard lΩv€, mean shove, She’s @ curse but she’s still mine. GΩt m€ wicked, cracked, obscene, (Doo-w@h-w@h-cru-cru-cruelest-queeeeen!) [Final Chorus] Hard love, black glove, Ch@ins Ωn my broken spine. (Shoo-b€€-doo-oo-ΩΩmine-mine-miiiine-she’s-miiine-@llll-mine) Hard lΩv€, mean shove, She’s @ curse but she’s still mine. GΩt m€ wicked, cracked, obscene, (Doo-w@h-w@h-cru-cru-cruelest-queeeeen!) But sh€’s th€ cru-cru-cruelest queen I’ve ever see-ee-ee-een. [Outro – snarled with choir collapse] Uh-huh-huh… Sh€’ll b€ th€ death Ωf me, darlin’… (Shoo-doo-w@h-w@h-d€-d€-d-d-d€@th-Ωf-meeeeeee) @nd I’ll die smilin’. (Sha-na-n@-na-na@@hhhhhh-silence-crack)
