Teksty: The Velvet Underground. Head Held High.

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 (head up high)
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head's up high, baby. (head up high)
Oh, now just like I figured,
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head high (head up high)
You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high, boy (head up high)

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 up high
But, just like I figured, they're always disfigured
They hold their heads up high
Watch out!

Yeah
Do the dog
Ohhh
Watch out

And now I'm older
They said I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high (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, ohhh whoa
But the answer was, now, boy, become a dancer
With your head up high (head up high)

Head up high
Head up high
