Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It’s gettin’ kinda long
I coulda said it wasn’t in my way
But I didn’t and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
White-collared conservatives
Flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me
They’re hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I’m gonna wave
My freak flag high! High! Wow!
And the sign said
“Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, “You look like a fine upstandin’ young man
I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat and said, “Imagine that
Huh, me workin’ for you”
Whoa
I’ll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
and I’ll do anything you say.
I’ll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool,
if you’ll be my sunshine daisy from L.A.
I’ve seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a streetlamp, I met a southern belle
Well, she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that southern moonlight, she sang a song so well
If you’ll be my Dixie chicken, I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland
In this life, I’ve seen everything I can see, woman
I’ve seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I’ve seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I’ve seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I’ve seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I’ve seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides
But I never seen nothin’ like you
Ooh, I’ve been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
When I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings
And I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t s’posed to see
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me
And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(The less I seek my source)
Closer I am to fine, yeah
Closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer you are
The brighter the flames in my heart
And darling, we’ll never part
We’ll always be in love
Oh, baby, I’m gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it’s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
Always took candy from strangers
Didn’t wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love
Baby, won’t you keep me happy?
Baby, won’t you keep me happy? (Happy)
Baby, please keep me
I was walkin’ down the street on a sunny day
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
A feeling in my bones that I’ll have my way
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Well I’m a happy boy (happy boy)
Well I’m a happy boy (happy boy)
Oh ain’t it good when things are going your way, hey hey?
I was walking down a one way street
Just a looking for someone to meet
One woman, who was looking for a man
Now I’m hoping that the feeling is right
And I’m wondering if you’ll stay for the night
So I’m coming
I don’t want to be lonely baby please tell me
I want to love you all over
Do you believe in love
Do you believe it’s true
Do you believe in love
Oh you’re making me believe it too
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
“I really don’t think you’re strong enough. No.”
God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot lie
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
My man
I’ve got sunshine, on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May (ooh)
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ 'bout my girl, my girl
You’ve got a cute way of talkin’
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers
And I’m walkin’
Like a dog hangin’ on your lead
I’m in a spin you know
Shakin’ on a string you know
You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
So messed up, I want you here
In my room, I want you here
Now we’re gonna be face-to-face
And I’ll lay right down in my favorite place
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog
I’m gonna buy me a dog (a dog)
