The Velvet Underground - Head held high - early version lyrics

My mama told me Ever since I was seven Hold your head up high My parents told my 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
