I got punk rock cut this morning and I look like me to you
But me I look to eighties so I got perm, buy two
I used to love to be natural but now I'm looking for style
But I don't know what to do with my hair
(She don't know what to do with her hair)
I don't know what I'm going do with my hair
So I'll wear a hat for a while
Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed
To keep you feeling Sunday
And underneath you can grit your teeth
But your hat attitudes gonna get you through
And keep you from feeling blue Monday
I used to love to be natural but now I'm looking for style
But I don't know what to do with my hair
(She don't know what to do with her hair)
I don't know what I'm going do with my hair
So I'll wear a hat for a while
Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed…
And underneath you can grit your teeth…
And keep you from feeling blue Monday
I used to love to be natural but now I'm looking for style
But I don't know what to do with my hair
(She don't know what to do with her hair)
I don't know what I'm going do with my hair
So I'll wear a hat for a while
Oh I went down town 'bout a week ago and saw an old friend of mine
He had his hair down to his waist with a Nitty-Gritty T-shirt on
Oh I used to love 'm natural but now I'm looking for style
But I don't know what to do with my hair
(Don't know what to do with her hair)
I don't know what I'm going do with my hair
So I'll wear a hat for a while
Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed
To keep you feeling Sunday
And underneath you can grit your teeth
'Cause your hat attitudes gonna get you through
And keep you from feeling blue Monday
I used to love to be natural but now I need some style
But I don't know what to do with my hair
I don't know what I'm going do with my hair
I'll wear a hat for a while
