Long Haired Child

A mid-winter's day, it's cold, and I know for certain

When I go outside, my head'll start hurtin'

It's a winter's day, and I know for certain

When I go outside, my head'll start hurtin'

So I wrap it up in materials to keep my head from getting cold

I'll wrap it up in materials to keep my head from getting cold

And I said to all my friends, "When I have kids"

Yeah, I said to all my friends, "When I have kids"

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

When I go outside to mingle in the snow

My head look like a globe, ain't no hair on it at all

Do I buy a wig? Should I grow my beard

And comb it upwards and around my ears?

Well, I can't wait for the kids to come, no, I can't wait for the kids to come

Say, "Hey, babe, you go no-no barbershop"

'Cause I want, yeah, I want, now I know for certain

I'ma want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gon' want the child to be a long-haired child

That's for sure, yeah, baby, that's for sure

When the snow, it hits my temple

I want to rush home, put on the kettle now

And warm my little brain and bald head

I'm too cold to know if I'm alive or dead

But when my baby slips out my mama's womb

When my baby slips out my mama's womb

We're gonna enter a new life, enter a new life, that's for sure

You're gonna enter your self back through your baby's front door

Now if you want that baby to be a long-haired child

You're gon' make that baby be a long-haired child, that's for sure

Baby, baby, that's for sure
