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 heads 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, just like I figured you know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high (head up high)
You know, they said the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high, boy (head up high)
ย
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
ย
And now I'm older, they say I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high (head up high), oh, oh-oh
Oh, the answer was, hey, become a dancer
Head up high (head up high)
Well, but just like I figured, they're always disfigured
They got their heads up high (head up high)
But the answer was, now, boy, become a dancer
With your head up high (head up high)
Oh, head up high (hey, yeah, yeah)
Head up high (oh, baby)
Head up high (oh, oh, now)
Head up high (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Head up high (oh)
Head
