[Devendra Banhart - Long Haired Child lyrics]
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 hair from getting cold
And I said, tell my friends, when I have kids
Yeah, I said, tell my friends
When I have kids
I'm gonna want that child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna 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'mma want the child to be
A long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child that's for sure
Yeah, baby that's for sure
When the snow it hit's 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 gonna make that baby be
A long haired child that's for sure
Baby, baby, that's for sure
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop
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 hair from getting cold
And I said, tell my friends, when I have kids
Yeah, I said, tell my friends
When I have kids
I'm gonna want that child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna 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'mma want the child to be
A long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child
I'm gonna want the child to
Be a long haired child that's for sure
Yeah, baby that's for sure
When the snow it hit's 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 gonna make that baby be
A long haired child that's for sure
Baby, baby, that's for sure
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop
