just goes nuts

Janet Kuypers (10/13/98)


When my hair gets to that point
where it’s just too long,

I mean, this is
not where it’s past that
and it’s long enough to that
it should just get longer,
well, when my hair
gets to that height,
where it gets to that point
where it just isn’t

the right length, you know
when it’s the wrong length,
well, that’s when the hair
just goes nuts on me.

Instead of the hair in question
just laying down
like your hair is supposed to do,
that’s when it curls up,

it might possibly actually
even get up, the wrong way
When it’s supposed to
go right, it goes left. Or
it goes backward and not forward.
If you don’t use hair gel or
hair spray, you just have to
use water to dampen the hair

that’s bothering you
well you do that and you hope
that this solution
will start to work.
I don’t know if that’s
something people normally
deal with when they have to

take care of their hair
and they don’t want to look like
a circus clown when their hair
decides to start going
in the wrong direction

When my hair does
that to me,
that’s when I know

my hair is too long,
or that it’s not enough,
or that it’s the
wrong length.
Usually when I know
that, it’s when my hair
needs a hair cut

It desperately needs it
