"Ten Pound Hammer" lyrics

Ten Pound Hammer

If someone had told me
That one man could hold me
And leave me weak as baby
I'd told them they were crazy

Then
Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing
Yeah, love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing

I used to play it so cool
Lord knows 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 six-foot swing
Yeah, love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing

I never saw love's power
Just the hearts and the flowers
And when I fell it was frightening
It struck me down like lightening

When
Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing
Yeah, love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-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 down to my knees

All right

Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing
Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing

Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing
Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing

Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer
With a six-foot swing
