Flapper Girl
The Lumineers Lyrics
Cut off all of your hair
Did you flinch, did you care
Did he look, did he stop and stare
At your brand new hair
Local boy, local news
Power lines, hangin' boots
Firemen in their trucks cut loose
A local boy's shoes
Cadillac, Cadillac
I'm gonna buy one for us when I get back
A big Cadillac
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write, would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady
I need you at home
Romeo, Juliet
Balcony silhouette
Makin' o's with her cigarette
It's Juliet
Flapper girl, flapper girl
Prohibition in curls
Hair of gold and a neck of curls
It's flapper girl
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write, would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady
I need you at home
If you ain't behind my door
Then I ain't got a home anymore
Would you write, would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady and
I need you at home
Lovers come, lovers go
Lovers leave me alone
She'll come back to me

The Ho Hey Songfacts reports that Schultz and Fraites were originally based in New York and started collaborating in 2002 after Fraites’ brother, Josh, who was also Schultz’s best friend died of an overdose. The pair began writing and performing to cope with their grief and they later relocated to Denver, where they met the classically trained Pekarek after advertising for a cellist.
A Denver, Colorado based group. The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music—the kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics.

Cut off all of your hair
Did you flinch, did you care
Did he look, did he stop and stare
At your brand new hair
Local boy, local news
Power lines hangin boots
Firemen in their trucks cut loose
A local boy's shoes
Cadillac, cadillac
Businessmen dressed in slacks
I'm gonna buy one for us when I get back
A big cadillac
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady and
I need you at home
Romeo, juliet
Balcony in silhouette
Makin o's with her cigarette
It's juliet
Flapper girl, flapper girl
Prohibition in curls
Hair of gold and a neck of pearls
It's flapper girl
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady and
I need you at home
Cause if you ain't behind my door
Then I ain't got a home anymore
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady and
I need you at home
Lovers come, lovers go
Lovers leave me alone
She'll come back to me

This song makes me feel like i'm a 40s housewife waiting for her husband to come back from war
Pops
Honestly except I’m gay
De boss
@Arkidie ur bad at Fortnite
RAFAEL GAHAN
@Arkidie Oh ok i understand just a miscommunication
Arkidie
@De boss I understand now, but the person said that's how they feel like while listening to the song so why correct them on the way they feel?
Arkidie
@RAFAEL GAHAN I was talking about how the original comment said the song made them feel like a 40's house wife waiting for their husband to come home from the war which is why when the person corrected to 20s it didn't make sense to me since no major wars were really happening.

We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.

I feel like the Lumineers are from a different time
ANDREW LAWRENCE
This song has the strange ability of coming back into my life at times when I need it.
Burt Gaming
The Lumineers have a very 1970’s vibe to their music. Such an underrated band honestly
