Oh, I should've known, babe Oh Lord! OOOOh!

And as I stood, and stared into the water I just realized that I bought a dancin' song Chorus (Man) Solo You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that that hammer don't fall, baby You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails, hopin' that that hammer don't fall Talkin' bout the hammer, Whoo! the hammer and the nail
