“Cathy with the Curly Hair” is the seventh track from American singer-songwriter Eleanor Friedberger’s third studio album, New View. In the song, Friedberger converses with a friend who cheekily comes onto her, despite already being in a relationship.
The song is stylistically unique for Friedberge...
[Verse 1]
Do you still live with Cathy with the curly hair?
Yeah, but I've been waiting for a tall, half-Greek girl
To take me away from here
We met in December when you got snowed in
Talked for twelve or fifteen hours
I don't know where to begin
[Chorus]
But if you'd ask me, I wouldn't care
And if you'd met me, I'd be there
But if you'd let me, I wouldn't dare
But if you'd let me
[Verse 2]
We talked again on Valentine's Day
But you stayed away, oh
And I know that you were right
And I know that you were wrong
Somewhere behind those blue eyes
And long blonde hair
Oh, yeah your manners were good
And you told me everything I wanted to hear
[Chorus]
But if you'd ask me, I wouldn't care
And if you'd met me, I'd be there
But if you'd let me, I wouldn't dare
But if you'd let me
[Bridge]
You took the bus in LA with the a book in your back pocket
It took you two hours to just to say hi, so I asked:
Do you still remember Cathy with the curly hair?
Yeah, but I've been waiting for a tall, half-Greek girl
To take me away from here
[Chorus]
But if you'd ask me, I wouldn't care
And if you'd met me, I'd be there
But if you'd let me, no, I wouldn't dare
But if you'd let me
