When I was 16 I was young and cruel
I made fun of the girls at school
Their Levis, T-shirts and short hair
Convinced me that they didn't care
But when I laid eyes on Kelly Jean
With long blonde hair, I said beware...

CHORUS
Because I'm the last of the long-hair lovers
The feathered look or pixie just won't do
And I don't care what kind of head it covers
As long as you've got long hair then I'm in love with you

I went to college when I was 22
The search continued; I was long overdue
Next door was Joanne there lying in the sun
With waist-length hair, I knew she was the one
But just to see if my love for her was true
She cut off her hair - I said, "No fair!" 

CHORUS
Because I'm the last of the long-hair lovers
The feathered look or pixie just won't do
And I don't care what kind of head it covers
As long as you've got long hair then I'm in love with you

Well now at 30 my looking days are past
I found myself a true lover at last
Her hair's like the dark night and it hangs to her knees
With soft rolling curls, you know she aims to please
Still I'm uneasy so I question, pry and dig
"How'd you grow your hair so long?"
She pulls off her wig and says...

I'm the last of the long-haired lovers
The feathered look or pixie just won't do
Since you don't care what kind of head it covers
As long as I've got long hair I know I can stay with you

CHORUS
Because I'm the last of the long-hair lovers
The feathered look or pixie just won't do
And I don't care what kind of head it covers
As long as you've got long hair then I'm in love with you
