  • 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"


    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 r?member the cut h? got
    A low Philly fade and goatee
    I wish he'd have come home with me

    He did not
    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
    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
    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?

    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)
