Who convinced who
That curls were “in”
In the years before
I knew to know better?
The smell so strong
Of chemical power
Making my blonde straight strands
Hold the curve of the curlers
Using my pick I kept those locks
Both frothy and fairly formed
Though the pictures of me froze a smile
Inside me the doubt ran deep

Using my pick I kept those locks

Though the pictures of me froze a smile
Inside me the doubt ran deep
