Standard (EADGBE)

We must say good-bye, there's no need for you to cry

It's better that I tell you this to-night

Our affair has been quite heated,

You thought I was what you needed

But the time has come, my darlin'

To set things right

Chorus

I'll be harder than yer husband to get along with

Harder than yer husband every night

I'll be harder than yer husband, harder than yer husband

An' I don't want our love affair to end with a fight

You been like a little angel, how you loved me

An' I appreciate the warmth of your embrace

Well, the world don't need to know how I adored you

But the time has come, my darlin'

T' tell you this face to face...

So it's adios, adios, my little darlin'

Keep that hankie that I gave you for when you cried

There are things that trouble me,

And I'm sure that you must see

That it breaks my heart the same as yours

When we say good-bye

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer...
