Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo

Lyrics

Baby's got a brand new hairdo, but doesn't she look so nice?

She said everything that she cares to, she's saying it not once but twice

She said it doesn't matter unless I say it matters

Well, I don't care about all that modern jazz

The girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

Baby's got a brand new hairdo, and doesn't she look so fine?

She said everything that she used to

Except she's picking your heart, not mine

She said "it doesn't matter unless I say it matters"

The pretty girls of Beak Street sit there flattered

I don't care about all that modern jazz

The girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

Baby's got a brand new hairdo, and doesn't she look so good?

She looks like Billy Boy Arnold, said I wish you would

I wish you would

Baby's got a brand new hairdo, I wonder what's left inside

She used to play me for the next fool before she learned how to be snide

She walks in the place and everybody scatters

I don't care about all the modern girls

The girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl who still has

She's the, she's the, she's the...
