A Better Haircut [UK Version] lyrics

SUZANNE:

I was working in the circus

With my boyfriend

I was flipping from a high trapeze

I'd fly off and he'd always catch me

Everything was going perfect in the circus

Until the day he dropped me

And then dropped me for the tattooed lady

GINA AND GEORGETTE (SUZANNE):

She broke her leg in seven places! (I did)

Watched the tattooed lady take her place!

GINA, GEORGETTE & SUZANNE:

You know our girl's a fragile egg

Don't you break her heart!

Or break her leg!

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you!

GINA:

I met a plumber on the Metro

With a tool belt

He was kind of bald, but good in bed

And fixed my leaky radiator

GEORGETTE:

So you go out on a first date

Then it's too late

When you try to leave

SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE:

The jealously and crazy stalking all come later

It seems like every single guy that strolls by

Doesn't stop until he controls my

Every thought and every move

GEORGETTE:

Are you just the same

SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE:

Or can you prove

That you, that you, that you, that you

You

Are a lover for the ages?

GEORGETTE:

Love is just another diagnosis

Like bacterial vaginosis

Once you're in it, you're committed

To everything that you've transmitted

Love is just another diagnosis

Like chicken pox, swine flu, streptococcus

Walking pneumonia, mumps, herpes, hepatitis

Syphilis, tetanus, human papillomavirus

SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE:

But the Mother of all diseases

That brings the mightiest to their knees is

Love, love, love

Oh yeah

NINO:

There's no promises that I can give you

There's no guarantee that we will live to 80

Without breaking up or making each other miserable

But you know I think she understands me

I don't know why she would, I understand

She may not even feel the same

And I don't even know her name

GEORGETTE (spoken):

Write down the address, Amélie Poulain. She's not in the bathroom, I lied, she's probably at home waiting for you. There you go. All good now. Enjoy

NINO (spoken):

Thank you!

SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE:

All the while, while love infects us

The side effect is that love connects us

All good now

There you go

Woah!

Yeah!
