Lyrics Syleena Johnson – I Cut My Hair

Whooooa
Whoa oh oh oh oooh yeeeea
Ooooh Oh oooooh, Yeeeea
Oh oooo oooo oooo ooooaaaah

Seven long years I grew my hair for you
cause that’s the one thing about me you loved so much
Seven long years I lost myself in you
Did all that I could to nurture this love
Seven long years I’ve tried to build you up
In all of those years you’ve brought me down
I let you ruin my mind I gave you all of me (hoooo)
Had to do something to take control

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through
to cut out all the memories of you
to cut off all the ties I had to you
I cut my hair to show you
You don’t have control of me no more
and I’m not afraid to let you go
Now it’s time for me instead of you
I cut my hair to show you

Hooooo ooooh
heeeeeeeeey yeeeea
Hooo hoooooo oh oh oh ooooh

I just wanna be someone who smiles all the time
cause I’ve got man who loves me so
Instead I’m just a girl who hides her cries inside
because I don’t want anyone to know that I’m unhappy

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through

And I, I’m not gonna cry inside no more
I’m just gonna fly like a bird
Gonna get up and find that one real love
And ooooooh, I’ll never ever grow this hair no more
If it means that I will lose myself,
my life, my heart, my love, my soul
I won’t no more

ad-lib

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through
to cut out all the memories of you
to cut off all the ties I have to you
I cut my hair to show you
You don’t have control of me no more
and I’m not afraid to let you go
Now it’s time for me instead of you
I cut my hair to show you

ad-lib
(…I cut my hair to show you…
I cut my hair, yea, to show you
you don’t own me…)

No more no more
No more no more
