Flapper Girl

Lyrics

Cut off all of your hair
 Did you flinch, did you care?
 Did he look, did he stop and stare
 At your brand new hair?
 Local boy, local news
 Power lines, hangin' boots
 Firemen in their trucks cut loose
 A local boy's shoes
 Cadillac, Cadillac
 Businessmen dressed in slacks
 I'm gonna buy one for us when I get back
 A big Cadillac
 And you can wave to all of your friends
 And I'll never leave you again
 Would you write, would you call back baby
 If I wrote you a song?
 I've been gone, but you're still my lady
 And I need you at home
 ♪
 Romeo, Juliet
 Balcony in silhouette
 Making O's with her cigarette
 It's Juliet
 Flapper girl, flapper girl
 Prohibition in curls
 Hair of gold and a neck of pearls
 It's flapper girl
 And you can wave to all of your friends
 And I'll never leave you again
 Would you write, would you call back baby
 If I wrote you a song?
 I've been gone, but you're still my lady
 And I need you at home
 'Cause if you ain't behind my door
 Then I ain't got a home anymore
 Would you write, would you call back baby
 If I wrote you a song?
 I've been gone, but you're still my lady
 And I need you at home
 Lovers come, lovers go
 Lovers leave me alone
 She'll come back to me
