I was born in a beauty salon   My father was a dresser of hair   My mother was a girl you could call on   When you called she was always there   When you called she was always there   When you called she was always there   When you called she was always there   When you called she was always there     Ah but don't go home with your hard-on   It will only drive you insane   You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown   You can't melt it down in the rain     You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain     I've looked behind all of the faces   That smile you down to you knees   And the lips that say, Come on, taste us   And when you try to they make you say Please     When you try to they make you say Please   When you try to they make you say Please   When you try to they make you say Please   When you try to they make you say Please     Ah but don't go home with your hard-on ...     Here come's your bride with her veil on   Approach her, you wretch, if you dare   Approach her, you ape with your tail on   Once you have her she'll always be there     Once you have her she'll always be there   Once you have her she'll always be there   Once you have her she'll always be there   Once you have her she'll always be there     Ah but don't go home with your hard-on ...     So I work in that same beauty salon   I'm chained to the old masquerade   The lipstick, the shadow, the silicone   I follow my father's trade     I follow my father's trade   Yes I follow my father's trade   Yes I follow my father's trade   Yes I follow my father's trade     Ah but don't go home with your hard-on   It will only drive you insane   You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain   You can't melt it down in the rain
