Head Held High Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): The Velvet Underground; and various other artists
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 disfigured With their heads up high
Now Im older, Im getting so much bolder With my head up high Oh, as I figured, just like I figured Since your heads up high, baby Oh, just like I figured You know, they was disfigured Hold your head up high You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer Hold 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 bolder Got 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 disfigured They got their heads up high But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer With your head up high
Head up high Head up high...
