I Wear My Hair In A Bun

from Great Writing From A Mastermind by The Bitter Poet

/

lyrics

Rules are important for attracting women if you’re a young man.
Always be your self, it inspires confidence
You can never have too much confidence in your appearance

Don’t compare yourself to others
Wear the clothes and hairstyle you want to wear,
A young man’s profile is just as important as his health, maybe more

Don’t be afraid to be different
Difference can be attractive to women who are looking for adventure
She’s more likely to talk to you, if you don’t look like her father
Eventually, she may end up with someone exactly like her father
But for now, you could be strange enough for her to find exotic, but not threatening

Go ahead, step outside the bounds, she’ll appreciate it
Even if she doesn’t want date, you could be friends and share things
like hair gel, advice on conditioner or anything friends might share
It's the 21st century, Be Your Self!

I am tall and I’m thin
I wear my hair in a bun
I might be vegetarian
I wear my hair in a bun
I got a Danish girlfriend
I wear my hair in a bun
A ponytail won’t do
All my heroes are Hindu

Sensitivity is necessary to win the trust of a young woman’s heart.
Always listen, sympathize and respect her opinion
She’ll appreciate that more than anything you could ever buy her

Take care of your body, never get out of shape
Meditation is proven to reduce the risk of stroke
No young lady wants to be stuck with a vegetable

In some cultures your body is considered a temple
Stock your temple with incense, candles and modal music
When she’s leaving after a visit bow and affect a prayer position
It's a Sign of Respect

Got more soul than a hipster
With wear my hair in a bun
You’ll never call me mister
With wear my hair in a bun
I’m soul mates with your sister
With wear my hair in a bun
Hot yoga, tai chi
Capoeira, mat-based Pilates

Some in our society will look down on you
You may feel people are talking about you behind your back
Not in urban centers where diversity is prized
but in smaller towns and hamlets

Don’t let this western negativity stop you from being yourself
All men wish they could be Sampson
All men wish the power of their hair made restraint necessary

Restraint and discipline are the most masculine of all traits
As is generosity and openness to nature
The ideal of the western man is limiting
Don’t be fooled

If you want to walk this world as a Unique Person
rewards will come to you
Follow my advice and you will stand out
The Young Man’s Guide To Being An Individual!

I am tall and I’m thin
I wear my hair in a bun
I might be vegetarian
I wear my hair in a bun
I got a Danish girlfriend
I wear my hair in a bun
A ponytail won’t do
All my heroes are Hindu

Hot yoga, tai chi
Capoeira, mat-based Pilates

I’m samurai shogun
I wear my hair in a bun

about

The Bitter Poet Brooklyn, New York

The Bitter Poet's anti-folk, indie-rock, musical storytelling is darkly humorous, intense, gritty. His songs are honest to a fault, yet over-the-top and grandiose in the style of Tom Waits or Nick Cave.
Musically, his straight-ahead rock chords and carnival-like lyrics blend humor, pathos and outrage. He has been described as “Lou Reed meets William Shatner” and “The Doors meet Jack Nicholson.”
