Do you spend time primping?

I admit I do. The hair...makeup...nail polish....and clothes...and shoes...and purses...and jewelry. I'm a real girly girl.

Sometimes it wears me out though! But I like to look nice.


Keb Mo reminds us in this song that most men really don't think we need all that help.

We don't even have to shave our legs! (what?!)

Take a few minutes and listen as you follow along with the words. Love it!

Shave Yo' Legs by Keb' Mo'

You don’t need no fancy tricks
Painted eyes or glossy lips

I love you just the way you are
Hope you don’t mind my beat up car

You don’t need to change your dress
You don’t need to change your shoes

Don’t try to hide your natural looks
Forget about the cover let me read the book

Don’t get me wrong I like them heels
But the way I feel is the way I feel

You don’t need to change your dress
You don’t need to change your shoes

Go ahead be wild and free
you don’t have to shave yo’ legs for me.

Hunnybabe don’t starve yourself
You’re lookin good you’re lookin well

And I’m proud to have you by my side
Glad to have you in my life

You don’t have to clean my house
You don’t have to wash my clothes

Go ahead be wild and free
Cause you don’t have to shave yo’ legs for me

You’re an angel

You don’t have to read them magazines
You already know how to get to me

Just be yourself and I will too
That’s all we really have to do

You don’t have to be ashamed
You don’t have to hide your knees

Go ahead be wild and free
You don’t have to shave yo legs for me.

Now go ahead be wild and free
You don’t have to shave yo legs for me.

I like Keb Mo. He's an amazing blues guitarist, vocalist and song-writer (aka Kevin Moore). I first discovered him years ago when I was having lunch one day at The Red Bar in Grayton Beach. It's a funky restaurant and bar with a limited menu, but the food is good and they play live jazz at night. He wasn't there live (pooh), but his music was playing at lunch that day and I loved his sound from the get-go and asked the waitress to find out who it was. I've been a fan ever since.


I primp for me, not others. It just makes me feel better if I have "my face on", clean shaven legs and some cute clothes on. How 'bout you?
