Head Held High lyrics

Artist  : Velvet Underground 
Song : Head Held High
 
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, they're always
disfigured With their heads up high. Now I'm
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, 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 mama's 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,
they're always disfigured, They hold their heads
up high, Watch out! Do the dog! Oh, watch out!
And now I'm older, they say I'm 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, they're 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...
