Johnson, Syleena - I Cut My Hair Lyrics






Whooooa
Whoa oh oh oh oooh yeeeea
Ooooh Oh oooooh, Yeeeea
Oh oooo oooo oooo ooooaaaah
Ooaaah
ho ho ho ho hooo ho hummmm

Seven long years I grew my hair for you
cause that's the one thing about me you loved so much
Seven long years I lost myself in you
Did all that I could to nurture this love
Seven long years I've tried to build you up
In all of those years you've brought me down
I let you ruin my mind I gave you all of me (hoooo)
Had to do something to take control

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through
to cut out all the memories of you
to cut off all the ties I had to you
I cut my hair to show you
You don't have control of me no more
and I'm not afraid to let you go
Now it's time for me instead of you
I cut my hair to show you

Hooooo ooooh
heeeeeeeeey yeeeea
Hooo hoooooo oh oh oh ooooh

I just wanna be someone who smiles all the time
cause I've got man who loves me so
Instead I'm just a girl who hides her cries inside
because I don't want anyone to know that I'm unhappy

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through
to cut out all the memories of you
to cut off all the ties I have to you
I cut my hair to show you
You don't have control of me no more
and I'm not afraid to let you go
Now it's time for me instead of you
I cut my hair to show you

And I, I'm not gonna cry inside no more
I'm just gonna fly like a bird
Gonna get up and find that one real love
And ooooooh, I'll never ever grow this hair no more
If it means that I will lose myself,
my life, my heart, my love, my soul
I won't no more

[ad-lib]

So I cut my hair to cut out all the things you put me through
to cut out all the memories of you
to cut off all the ties I have to you
I cut my hair to show you
You don't have control of me no more
and I'm not afraid to let you go
Now it's time for me instead of you
I cut my hair to show you

[ad-lib]
(...I cut my hair to show you...
I cut my hair, yea, to show you
you don't own me...)

No more no more
No more no more

Johnson, Syleena I Cut My Hair Comments
  1. A.... M....

    Oooh how I you Syleena!!! Girl I just cut my hair too...so liberating!!! 🙌

  2. V.... B....

    My exgirlfriend which is a covert narcissists sent me this song and I almost joked from laughing like she has love and empathy. Smh this song is for real women not covert narcissists living a false self.

  3. A.... V....

    🔥🔥🔥👏👏

  4. J.... ....

    This is so powerful - I love this version more than the Chapter 6 version. This song makes me think of the Frida Kahlo painting where she did just this.

  5. N.... A....

    I just heard this song today. I see that someone made a comment about this song being similar to Angela Bassett's character in Waiting To Exhale. That's exactly what I was thinking. And it also reminds me of Not Gon' Cry by Mary J. Blige which is on the soundtrack to Waiting To Exhale. A lot of times it seems that singers and writers copy certain things as if no one will notice. For example, Orianthi has a song titled Think Like A Man, and Steve Harvey's book and movie Think Like A Man, is just too similar to the lyrics in her song. I'm just saying.

  6. T.... b....

    I cut my hair when I was going through my issues...and it felt liberating. My long hair was my identity but it didn't define me. It's just hair and its growing back fast.

    I liked this joint the first time I heard it!

  7. c.... ....

    I am lacking in fandom of Syleena Johnson.  I didn't even know she had an acoustic album.  I just happened to come across this version. 

  8. M.... H....

    I love you so much Syleena. Such an inspiration to people who wish to become artists. You continue to fight through the industry and still manage to have time to bless your fans with these gifts. Thats what your songs are. Gifts. :)

  12. M.... B....

    This girl doesn't get half the props she should .... She's gorgeous, she can sing, writes some of her own songs .... She has a history of great albums and she's STILL relevant if you ask me. Plus I don't think she's DONE, yet. I hope and pray she comes back to the R & B divas .... use it as a platform.

    This damn girl singing her own back up .... lmaooo ... Get that dough
    ChiTown

    M.... B....
