Head Held High -Velvet Underground
Mama told me
Ever since I was seven
"Hold your head up high"
My parents told me
Ever since I was eleven
"Hold your head up high"
They said the answer was
To become a dancer
Hold your head up high
Oh just like I figured
They're always disfigured
With their head up high
Now I am older
I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh as I figured
Just like I figured
Since your head's up high baby
Oh now just like I figured
You know they was disfigured
Hold your head high
You know they says the answer
Was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high boy
Ever since I was a baby
On my mama's knee
Oh just to listen to what
Have everybody told me
And yes I did
But still the answer was
To become a dancer
And hold your head up high
But just like I figured
They're always disfigured
They hold their heads up high
Watch out
Yeah
Do the dog
Oh watch out
And now I'm older they say
That I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high
Oh oh the answer was
Hey become a dancer
Head up high
Well but just like I figured
They're always disfigured
They got their heads up high
But the answer was
Now boy become a dancer
With your head up high
Oh head up high
Yeah yeah yeah
Head up high oh baby
Head up high oh oh
Head up high
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
