A Better Haircut lyrics

[SUZANNE]

I was working in the circus

With my boyfriend

I was flipping from a high trapeze

I'd fly off and he'd always catch me

Everything was going perfect in the circus

Until the day he dropped me

And then dropped me for the tattooed lady

[GINA & GEORGETTE]

She broke her leg in seven places!

[SUZANNE]

I did

[GINA & GEORGETTE]

Watch the tattooed lady take her place!

[SUZANNE]

And lost my job, lost my way!

'Til at last I bought this cafe!

[GINA, GEORGETTE, & SUZANNE]

And it seems that every single guy that I know

Has another lady on the side show!

[GEORGETTE]

You know our girl's a fragile egg

[GINA]

Don't you break her heart!

[SUZANNE]

Or break her legs!

[SUZANNE, GINA, & GEORGETTE]

Don't you

[GINA]

I met a plumber on the Metro

With a tool belt

He was kinda bald but good in bed

And fixed my leaky radiator

[GEORGETTE]

So we go out on a first date

Then it's too late

When you try to leave

[GINA & GEORGETTE]

The jealously and crazy stalking all come later

[GEORGETTE]

Don't you treat her like a tape recorder

[GINA]

She's not a waitress who will take your order

[GINA & GEORGETTE]

Bring your food

Fill your refills

[SUZANNE]

Except when working at the Windmills

[GINA & GEORGETTE]

It seems that every single guy that strolls by

Doesn't stop till he controls my

Every thought, every move

[GEORGETTE]

Are you just the same

[GINA]

Can you prove

[GINA, SUZANNE, & GEORGETTE]

That you

You

Are a lover for the ages

Can you prove that you

[GEORGETTE]

Are not highly contagious

[GINA, SUZANNE, &GEORGETTE]

Oh yes

[GEOGETTE]

Love is just another diagnosis

Like bacterial vaginosis

[GINA, SUZANNE, &GEORGETTE]

Once you're in it, you're committed

[GEORGETTE]

To everything that you've transmitted!

[GINA, SUZANNE & GEORGETTE]

If you're going to be the guy to date her

Give her space and don't suffocate her

You might make 'em stop and stare

But you could use a better haircut

[GEORGETTE]

Love is just another diagnosis

Like chicken pox, swine flu, streptococcus

Walking pneumonia, mumps, herpes, hepatitis

Syphilis, tetanus, human papillomavirus

But the mother of all diseases

That brings the mightiest to their knees is

Love, love, love!

[SUZANNE & GINA]

You

Might be a lover

For the ages!

But can you prove that you!

Are not highly contagious

[NINO]

There's no promises that I can give you

There's no guarantee we will live to 80

Without breaking up or making each other miserable

But you know I think she understands me

I don't know why she would I understand

She may not even feel the same

I love her

And I don't know her name

[GEORGETTE]

Here's her number

And address

Amélie Poulain

She's probably waiting for you at her home

There you go

All good now

Enjoy

[GINA, SUZANNE, & GEORGETTE]

All the while, while love infects us

The side effect is that love connects us

All through now

There you go

Woah!

Yeah!
