G Standing on your window, honey, C D G Yes, I've been here before. G Feeling so harmless, C D G I'm looking at your second door. D G How come you don't send me no regards? G D7 You know I want your lovin', G Honey, why are you so hard? Kneeling 'neath your ceiling, Yes, I guess I'll be here for a while. I'm tryin' to read your portrait, but, I'm helpless, like a rich man's child. How come you send someone out to have me barred? You know I want your lovin', Honey, why are you so hard? Chorus: Em Like a poor fool in his prime, Bm Yes, I know you can hear me walk, Em But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime, Bm D7 D7sus4 Or is it just solid rock? Well, I rush into your hallway, Lean against your velvet door. I watch upon your scorpion Who crawls across your circus floor. Just what do you think you have to guard? You know I want your lovin', Honey, but you're so hard. Achilles is in your alleyway, He don't want me here, He does brag. He's pointing to the sky And he's hungry, like a man in drag. How come you get someone like him to be your guard? You know I want your lovin', Honey. but you're so hard.
