Shirley down the street she gets so lonesome

She calls around to men on the phone, some
She calls various men on the phone, hoping that one of them will visit her.
Hopin' one will show up at her door

She don't care, just where they come from

Where they've been, just if they want some

Give it to her straight, she want to score

She needs hard love

Hard love
She craves a fervent and deep kind of love.
She wants a hard love, just to make her day
