Eyes in the Back of my Head

If I had eyes in the back of my head
You couldn't sneak up from behind me.
And if I had eyes in the back of my head
You'd need two complete blindfolds to blind me.

If I had eyes in the back of my head,
Without turning, I'd see what was there,
But if I had eyes in the back of my head,
How would I shampoo my hair?
