Cut Your Hair

Lyrics by Paul Walker, music by Jackson 5 (I'll Be There)


You and I must make a pact, we must cut your long hair back.

You can’t see jack, with your long hair.  (Your long hair)


I’ll reach out my shears to you, cut that mop a foot or two.

…  You'll look so great, without long hair.  (without long hair)


[Chorus]

Ohhhh noooo -- my long hair’s a part of me.

Like that old guy in the bible ... gives me strength and energy.

I wear it long or in a bun.

I fling it ‘round <actually flings hair here> …. helps me carry on.   (yes it does, yes it does)


Scares me to think … what’s living in there.

Could be weasels or Koala bears.

Let them roam free ….  and cut your hair. (Cut your hair)


I've not seen your eyes for years.  And I’m not sure... you have ears. 

…. Just let me cut ….. your long hair.  (Your long hair)


[Chorus]

And ohh noooo -  Why does long hair bother you?

I’m a good kid, I don’t twerk, I don’t swear and I don’t chew.

I've got a job, get decent grades.

Why get down ..... if I like my hair in braids? 


If you should ever get a short hair-do, you'll make a wig for 10 bald dudes.

And save on shampoo .... with short hair. (With short hair)


Don't you know, Sonny, yeah yeah

(harmony). Your long hair….  your long hair.  

Just let me cut, your long hair.


Just cut it off your shoulders, Sonny.    Oooh.

 

(harmony) Your long hair,,,,  your long hair.

Why don’t we cut … your long hair.


Let's cut it, Sonny, yeah yeah


(harmony) Your long hair, your long hair, 

Why don’t we cut … your long hair.
