lyrics

Your beard got in the way of loving me
Your beard got in the way of devotion
What else can I say
You're a cold hearted killer with no razor blades
Your beard it got in the way

I told my friends you were some mountain man
Someone who communed with nature and worked with his hands
But then I realized, you were some comic book guy
Who sat around the house and kept thoughts in his mind

So then I thought you were some academic intellectual
Who knew how to cook while keeping his cool
But your food it makes me queasy and your IQ is beneath me
So go back to your friends cause you never gonna see me

Your beard got in the way of loving me
Your beard got in the way of devotion
Your beard got in the way of kissing me
Your beard got in the way of emotion
What else can I say
You're a cold hearted killer with no razor blades
Your beard it got in the way

Don't you come over like a wolf in sheep skin
Don't you come over reading EE Cummings again
Don't you come over like a mild-mannered Clark Kent
I know you are evil by the costume that your kept

All of my friends say you been crying around town
But with all of those whiskers, I can't see those tears falling down
But until you smell like Gillett, I will never forget
It's my turn now to act like we never met

Your beard got in the way of loving me
Your beard got in the way of devotion
Your beard got in the way of kissing me
Your beard got in the way of emotion
What else can I say
You're a cold hearted killer with no razor blades
Your beard it got in the way
