Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So give me the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
Ooh, yeah, mmm
[Verse 2]
Anybody can be in love on a sunny day
And anybody can turn and run when it starts to rain
And everybody wishes all their skies were blue
But that ain't the kind of love I'm looking to have with you
[Verse 3]
So give me the hard stuff
The kind that makes you real
I'll be there when the storm comes
'Cause I want the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
When they throw me sticks and stones
We can cut each other to the bone
I'm never gonna give you up
'Cause I want the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
Mmm, yeah, I want the hard stuff, yeah (Hard stuff)
[Verse 4]
But God knows I'm not the man that I wanna be
And we all know there's things in this life we refused to see
So just know my fire for you will always burn
And please forgive the things in this life that I have to learn
[Verse 5]
So give me the hard stuff
The kind that makes you real
I wanna be there when the storm comes
'Cause I want the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
When they throw me sticks and stones
We can cut each other to the bone
I'm never gonna give you up
'Cause I want the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
[Verse 6]
No, you won't have to wonder
No, you won't have to ponder
If we're ever going under
No, we're never going under
No, we're never going under
[Verse 7]
'Cause I want the hard stuff
The kind that makes you real
I wanna be there when the storm comes
'Cause I want the hard stuff (I want the hard stuff)
When they throw me sticks and stones (Oh)
We can cut each other to the bone (Break each other to the bone)
I'm never gonna give you up
'Cause I want the hard stuff (Hard stuff)
[Verse 8]
(Oh) Yeah, I want the hard stuff
(I want the hard stuff) Yeah
Yeah, I want the hard stuff (Give me your hard stuff)
Give me the hard stuff
Yeah, I want the, mmm, mmm
I want the hard stuff
So give me the hard stuff
