Hair

Song byLady Gaga

in AlbumBorn This Way

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, whoa

Whenever I'm dressed cool

My parents put up a fight

(Uh huh, uh huh)

And if I'm hot shot

Mom will cut my hair at night

(Uh huh, uh huh)

And in the morning

I'm short of my identity

(Uh huh, uh huh)

I scream Mom and Dad

Why can't I be who I wanna be?

(Uh huh, uh huh)

To be

I just wanna be myself

And I want you to love me for who I am

I just wanna be myself

And I want you to know, I am my hair

[Chorus:]

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak

I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets

I've had enough, enough, enough

And this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hair

I'm a free as my hair

I am my hair

[x2:]

Free as my hair, hair, hair

Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Hair, hair, hair

Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Sometimes I some raccoons

Or red highlights

Just because I want my friends

To think I'm dynamite

And on Friday rock city

High school dance

I got my bangs to hide

That I don't stand a chance, a chance

I just wanna be myself

And I want you to love me for who I am

I just wanna be myself

And I want you to know, I am my hair

[Chorus]

[x2:]

Free as my hair, hair, hair

Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Hair, hair, hair

Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

I just want to be free, I just want to be me

And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties

Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed

I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bare

I am my hair, I'm my hair

I am my hair, I'm hair

It's all the glory that I bare

I am my hair, I am my hair

I am a hair, yeah

It's all the glory that I bare

I am my hair, I am my hair

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

(All the glory that I bare)

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

(All the glory that I bare)

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

(All the glory that I bare)

My hair, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm as free as my hair

I am my hair, I am my hair

Ooh I'm my hair, I'm my hair
