"Long Haired Child (Live)" lyrics

A mid-winter's day and it's cold, so I know for certain
When I go outside, my whole head'll start hurtin'
It's a mid-winter's day, so I know for certain
When I go outside, my whole 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
So I said to all my friends, "When I have kids"
Yeah, I said to all my friends, "When I have kids"

Well, 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? Do I comb my hair?
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, want, want, want, want, want, yeah, want, 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, that's for sure
That's for sure, yeah, that's for sure

Now when the snow, it hits my temple
Well, I'd rather rush in, put on the kettle
To warm my little brain and my bald head
'Cause 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
