Velvet Underground - Head Held High Lyrics
(reed)My mama told me, ever since I was seven,Hold your head up high.My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven,Hold your head up high.They said the answer was to become a dancer,Hold your head high.Oh, just like I figured, theyre always disfiguredWith their heads up high.Now Im older, Im getting so much bolderWith my head up highOh, as I figured, just like I figuredSince your heads up high, baby.Oh, just like I figured,You know, they was disfiguredHold your head up high.You know, they says the answer was to become a dancerHold your head high, boy.Ever since I was a baby on my mamas knee,Oh, just listened to what everybody told me,Oh yes I did. but still the answer was to become a dancer,And hold your head high,But, just like I figured, theyre always disfigured,They hold their heads up high, watch out!Do the dog! oh, watch out!And now Im older, they say Im so much bolderGot your head up high.Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer,Head up high.Well, but just like I figured, theyre always disfiguredThey got their heads up high.But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancerWith your head up highHead up high,Head up high...
