Hard Woman
Jagger Mick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a hard woman to please
And I thought about letting her know
She's a hard lady to leave
And I thought about letting her go

She's a tough lady to leave
But, I thought about it
She's a hard lady to please, yes she is

I gave her laughter, she wanted diamonds
I was romantic, she treated my cruelly
Where is the mercy, where is the love?

You see, passion has a funny way
Of burning down and running low
And suddenly it goes out
And you wonder where does it go

She's a hard woman to please
I've thought about letting her know
She's a hard lady to leave, yes she is

I gave her laughter, she wanted diamonds
She was unfaithful, treated me cruelly
Where is the mercy, where is the love?

I'm alone at last; something inside of me knows
I could have loved in vain
For a thousand years
I have to let her go

I've got to let her go
I've got to say goodbye
How can I say goodbye to my baby?
She's a tough cookie, hard lady
I've got to say goodbye

Alone at last and something inside of me knows
I could have loved in vain for a thousand years
I have to let her go

And time goes so fast and new love starts so slow
I could have loved in wain for a thousand years
I have to let her go

I've got to let her go
I've got to say goodbye
Hard woman to please, yes you are
Hard woman,tough lady,

I've got to, I've got to say goodbye.
How can I say goodbye to my baby?




How can I say goodbye to my baby?
So long honey.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jagger Mick's song "Hard Woman" are about a challenging relationship with a difficult woman. The singer grapples with the decision to let her go or try harder to please her. The opening lines, "She's a hard woman to please, And I thought about letting her know," suggest that the singer may have discussed some of these difficulties with his partner. However, the next line, "She's a hard lady to leave, And I thought about letting her go," reveals that he is still struggling with the possibility of ending things. He feels trapped, unable to please her or leave her.


Throughout the song, Jagger Mick contrasts his attempts at romance and humor with his partner's demands for material possessions and unfaithfulness. The line "I gave her laughter, she wanted diamonds" is an example of this contrast. He also questions where the love and mercy are in their relationship. The lyrics suggest that passion can be fleeting, and once the flame dies down, the realization sets in that the relationship may not be what they wanted.


The chorus repeats the idea that she is a hard woman to please and a tough lady to leave. Eventually, though, the singer realizes that he must let her go, even though it will be difficult. He knows that time is fleeting, and new love may start slowly, but he can't continue to love in vain for another thousand years.
