| Dear Jackie, I fooled
around with the "Shave Me" concept ... (didn't have anything to read on the
train, again). I was almost surprised at how it morphed into a song about the combination
of [Hanson] growing up and what other people expect of them ... very profound, I'm sure!!

Take care,

Shave Me
Growin' hair, like I never have before
I needed you - to buy a razor from the store
If puberty
Is gettin' on my case
Then lather me
I've gotta get this off my face
I never thought I'd be growin' this tall
I never thought I'd need to say:
Could you pick me up some Clearasil and Right Guard and Burma-Shave and -
hey -
Won't you shave me? Shaving's what I need
I can't have a beard on my chin
Won't you shave me? They don't wanna see
A moustache where they used to see skin
My voice has ...
Listen please -
I can't sing MMMBop no more, so change the key -
We've got the Grammy show at 4
I never thought I'd be singin' this low
I knew there'd be some changes made
Not bein' clean-shaven is more than they can take
Won't you shave me? Shaving's what I need
I can't have a beard on my chin
Won't you shave me? They don't wanna see
A moustache where they used to see skin
Suddenly my voice is falling
Could it be it's too low for me?
Well if we're Number One in Billboard
It's that song, yes, That Song
Then I hear our agent calling
Wondering if I'm turning eighteen
- But you all know we can't stay young forever
Won't you shave me? Shaving's what I need
I can't have a beard on my chin
Won't you shave me? They don't wanna see
A moustache where they used to see skin
Won't you shave me? ... Won't you shave me? ... Won't you shave me? |
