[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Now I am older, I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high (Head held high)
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head's up high, baby (Head held high)
Oh, now just like I figured you know they was disfigured
Hold your head high (Head held high)
You know they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high, boy (Head held high)
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Yeah
Do the dog
Oh
Watch out
[Chorus]
And now I'm older they say that I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high (Head held high)
Oh, oh the answer was, hey become a dancer
Head up high (Head held high)
Well, but just like I figured they're always disfigured
They got their heads up high (Head held high)
Oh, but the answer was, now boy become a dancer
With your head up high (Head held high)
[Outro]
Oh, head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Head held high, oh baby
Head held high, oh oh
Head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Head held high, oh
Head held high
