Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
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
