Lyrics[]

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change
I'm just a girl with a new haircut
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Fix it like a puzzle
Hitmen wearin' muzzles
Hesitate, you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found

Sing: Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Again: Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Music scene's crazy, bands start up
Each and everyday
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I don't remember lying
I don't remember line
Can't remember a word
I don't care, I care
I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair, hey

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 

Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair
March right down to the practice rooms
Career, career, career, career
Korea, Korea, Korea, Korea
