I Don't Want You Cutting Off Your

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

You painted your lips baby

And you painted your eyes too

Its gettin' to the place now woman

Till i can't hardly recognize you

If that's what it takes to be hip baby

Oh, i want you to be a square

I don't want you messing around baby

Oh, i don't want you cutting of your hair



I didn't say nothing to you baby

When you were wearing bikinis for close

Oh i even stood around baby

I watched you paint your toes

If that's what it takes to be hip baby

Oh, i want you to be a square

I don't want you messing up woman

Oh, i don't want you cutting of your hair



There's something about your girlfriend baby

I swear i can't understand

She got her hair cutt off the other day

And now she looks just like a man

If that's what it takes to be hip baby

Oh, i want you to be a square

I don't want you messing up baby

Oh, i don't want you cutting of your hair

I Don't Want You Cutting Off Your
