Lyrics Barbara Mandrell

Barbara Mandrell

Ten Pound Hammer

If somebody would've told me

One woman could hold me

And leave me weak as a baby

I'd have told 'em they were crazy

Love hit me like a

ten pound hammer

A ten pound hammer

with a five foot swing

I used to play it so cool

Lord knows that I was no fool

No chains would ever bind me

But those days are all behind me-

you see

Love hit me like a

ten pound hammer

A ten pound hammer

with a five foot swing

I never saw love's power

Just the hearts and the flowers

When I fell it was frightening

It struck me down like lightning-

when

Love hit me like a

ten pound hammer

A ten pound hammer

with a five foot swing

I used to live like a rolling stone

Nobody had a hold on me

All it took was a kiss from you

To bring me right to my knees

Love hit me like a

ten pound hammer

A ten pound hammer

with a five foot swing

Yeah, that's all she wrote
