I was bFmorn in a beauty sC7alon
My father was a dresser of hFmair
My mother was a girl you could cBbmall on
When you cFmalled she was C7always thFmere
When you called she was always thC7ere
When you called she was always thFmere
When you called she was always thBbmere
When you cFmalled she was C7always thFmere


Ah but dFon't go hBbome with your hFard-onBb
FIt will only drBbive you insFaneBb
You can't shFake it (or brBbeak it) with your MFotownBb
You cFan't melt it dBbown in the rFainBb
You cFan't melt it dBbown in the rFainBb
You cFan't melt it dBbown in the rFainBb
You cFan't melt it dBbown in the rFainBb


I've looked behind all of the faces
That smile you down to your knees
And the lips that say, "Come on, taste us "
And when you try to they make you say Please
When you try to they make you say Please
When you try to they make you say Please
When you try to they make you say Please
When you try to they make you say Please


Ah but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain


Here comes your bride with her veil on
Approach her, you wretch, if you dare
Approach her, you ape, with your tail on
Once you have her she'll always be there
Once you have her she'll always be there
Once you have her she'll always be there
Once you have her she'll always be there
Once you have her she'll always be there


Ah but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain


So I work in that same beauty salon
I'm chained to the old masquerade
The lipstick, the shadow, the silicone
I follow my father's trade
Yes I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade


Ah but don't go home with your hard-on
It will only drive you insane
You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
You can't melt it down in the rain
