[Verse 1]
I walked in you were there
It was as simple as that
I knew you were the one that I wanted
But you’d never want me back
And you were just smiling
You and those almond-shaped eyes
You said, “Hey I’m a fan of your melodies
Someday maybe you’ll write one for me”
[Chorus]
So I’m writing a song for the man in the barbershop
Who sat in the chair by the door
He don’t come around here no more
But he stays on my mind
So I’m writing
I even rеmember the cut hе got
A low Philly fade and goatee
I wish he’d have come home with me
He did not
[Verse 2]
She walked and saw us then
There was nothing left to say
Cuz her eyes shine like diamonds to look at him
And he started glowing when she came in
No use of trying
What’s hers could never be mine
But when you walked away with her hand-in-hand
Part of me wished for a backward glance
[Chorus]
So I’m writing a song for the man in the barbershop
Who sat in the chair by the door
He don’t come around here no more (Not anymore)
But he stays on my mind
So I’m writing
I even remember the cut he got (I remember oh everything)
A low Philly fade and goatee (Oh my my my)
I wish he’d have come home with me (Come on, come on)
He did not
[Bridge]
Why do I want what I can’t have?
It is so close to me but I can’t, I can’t grab
Where is my love like that? (Love like that)
Where is my love like that? (Love like that)
Where is my love like that? (Where is my love like that)
Where is my love?
[Chorus]
Writing a song for the man in the barbershop
Who sat in the chair by the door (By the door)
He don’t come around here no more (He don’t come around here no more)
But he stays on my mind
So I’m writing (I’m writing)
I even remember the cut he got (I remember everything, I remember everything)
A low Philly fade and goatee
I wish he’d have come home with me (I wish he’d have come home with me)
He did not
