Give me back my wig, honey let your head go bald
You really had no business, honey buyin' no wig at all
Give me back that wig, honey let your head go bald
Give me back that wig, honey let your head go bald
You really had no business, honey buyin' no wig at all
Give me back my wig, honey let your head go bald
Give me back that wig, honey let your head go bald
You really had no business, honey buyin' no wig at all
The song "Give me back my wig" by Vaughan Stevie Ray & Double Trouble is a blues classic that was released in 1984. The song is a playful and humorous take on a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics are directed at a woman who has bought a wig, which the singer doesn't seem to approve of. The singer repeatedly asks the woman to give him back his wig and to let her head go bald instead. This suggests that the wig is not the issue, but rather the fact that the woman is trying to be something she's not. She is being inauthentic and the singer is not impressed.
The playful tone of the song is emphasized by the use of the word "honey" throughout the song. It's as if the singer is trying to sweet talk the woman into giving him back his wig. The repeated chorus of "give me back my wig, honey let your head go bald" emphasizes the importance of authenticity and being true to oneself.
