Harder Lyrics

Oh oh my my my
My man's up all night
Works me till I moan
Drives me out of my mind

Why it so hard
Must be made out of cold steel
Why it so hard
He's a man running my wheel

Just keep me burning
Just keeps me yearning
Put my whole body on fire
Burning whole body desire

Why it so hard
Yeah taking me over
Why it so hard
My cold steel soldier

Harder
Harder
Harder

Oh oh make me beg
Eats meat in my bed
Works me till I'm done
Mad dog can sure hunt

Why it so hard
Must be made out of cold steel
Why it so hard
C'mon Daddy drive my wheel

Harder
Harder
Harder

Why it so hard
Money made out of cold steel
Why it so hard
He's a turning my wheel

Harder
Harder
Harder
Yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

yeah, no question as to what this is about really.

are these official lyrics? i actually thought it was "keeps me in my bed", but "eats meat in my bed" is so raunchy and hilarious. and "that dog can sure hunt"... LOVE that.
