Story Behind The Song
Singer-songwriter, Amber Estrada uses experiences from her life and observations of people around her to create a blues/rock unsatisfied love song. It is a song of empowerment, we don't have to stay in relationships that are less than what we want and deserve.
Song Description
Harder is a blues/rock, sassy ultimatum between someone who is fed up with the relationship. It is written from as female's perspective with the line "you've always been a tough man" but can relate to any relationship where one person isn't trying as hard as the other. Throughout the song the word "Harder" is used to describe things in the unsatisfying relationship such as "Then you better listen to what I have to say A little bit harder " and "You?d better start kissing me another way A little bit harder"

Lyrics
Harder
Words and Music by Amber Estrada ©2003
Verse 1:
If you want me to stay
Then you better think about what you say
A little bit harder
I said if you want me to stay
Then you better listen to what I have to say
A little bit harder (x2)
Chorus:
If you don't want me to go away
You'd better start kissing me another way
A little bit harder (x2)
Verse 2:
Unless you show me that you love me
And that you always thinking of me
It'll drive me farther, farther away
Chorus:
If you don?t want me to go away
You'd better start kissing me another way
A little bit harder (x2)
You've always been a tough man
And I've tried so hard to understand
But it's driving me farther away
Chorus:
If you don't want me to go away
You'd better start kissing me another way
A little bit harder (x2)
