Hard Lovin' Man Lyrics

Break my back with hard lovin'
Take my hand and keep movin'
Don't slow down we're nearly there now
Oh can you stand the pain
I'm a hard lovin' man

What's your name? It's alright now
Trick or treat we're uptight now
Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya
Oh here we go again
I'm a hard lovin' man

Come back here it's not over
Can't you see there's still time girl
I can last make if fast now
Oh gotta catch a train
I'm a hard lovin' man

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.

While DP was recording the legendary "In Rock" album. There was a guy in the studio.. some kind of sound engineer or somethat that didnt like the whole loud hard rock sound of the band. I remember reading Ritchie saying that in some interview. The loud noise at the end of the song was actually Ritchie smashing his guitar just to piss this guy up. Listen to the galloping main riff. Many credit Judas Priest for the whole galloping riffs.. well its true Priest perfected it... but Ritchie was the first one to come up with it i think. This is another proof why Deep Purple should be considered the first ever Heavy Metal band and not Black Sabbath.

Analyzing these lyrics, I think it's about a guy who works really hard and is under a lot of stress. I think we all know what that's like.
