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 cut 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
