Keep On
Catch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for so long
You don't even know how long
I have been waiting for this day, hey

I've been thinking about
All the reasons I had to get even
And to cause you pain, oh
And I bet they all would say
The girl is justified, oh
But all I'm gonna do is turn
And walk away tonight
To-ni-ni-night

Though I don't want to
And I don't need to
Be taking the fight
I'm lady-like
I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to
And I don't need to
But no matter how hard it gets
My mama always says to

Keep your head up
Your head up, your head up
Your head up, up

And no matter what
Your head up
Your head up
Your head up, up, up, up, up

I've had all kinds of fantasies
Even romantacy's
Of what to do when
The time was right, right

You would beg me for mercy
Told me you ain't worth it
And boy, I'd even make you cry, oh

It would be so easy now
To make you feel so bad, so bad
But all I'm gonna do is bite my lip
And leave it at that
At that, that, that

Though I don't want to
And I don't need to
Be taking the fight
I'm lady-like
I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to
And I don't need to
But no matter how hard it gets
My mama always says to

Keep your head up
Your head up
Your head up
Your head up, up, up

And no matter what
Your head up
Your head up
Your head up, up, up, up, up

Oooooo

I really don't have the time
Because you're really no friend of mine
I really should make you pay

Though I don't want to
And I don't need to
Be taking the fight
I'm lady-like
I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to
And I don't need to
But no matter how hard it gets
My mama always says to
(Keep your head up)

Though I don't want to
And I don't need to
Be taking the fight, (taking the fight) I'm lady-like
I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to
And I don't need to
But no matter how hard it gets
My mama always says to

Keep your head up
(Always said)
Your head up
(Always said)
Your head up
Your head up, up

And no matter what
Your head up




Your head up
Your head up, up, up, up, up

Line by Line Meaning

I've been waiting for so long
I have been eagerly waiting for an opportunity for a very long time


You don't even know how long
The length of time I have wanted this is so long that you cannot even imagine


I have been waiting for this day, hey
Today has been the day I have been eagerly awaiting


I've been thinking about
My thoughts have been consumed by


All the reasons I had to get even
The various motives I have had for seeking revenge


And to cause you pain, oh
And to hurt you emotionally


And I bet they all would say
I am pretty sure everyone around me would agree


The girl is justified, oh
That my actions are fully justified


But all I'm gonna do is turn
But I have decided to take another course of action instead of seeking revenge


And walk away tonight
I am going to leave quietly without making any unnecessary drama


To-ni-ni-night
Tonight is the night I walk away


Though I don't want to
Even though I do not wish to


And I don't need to
And I am aware that I have no obligation to


Be taking the fight
Responding to your hostility with more hostility


I'm lady-like
I am a well-mannered person


I'm not gonna stop
And I will not be influenced


My mama always says to
My mother has always advised me to


Keep your head up
Stay strong and determined despite difficulties


Your head up, your head up
Keep going and stay focused


And no matter what
No matter how challenging the situation may appear to be


I've had all kinds of fantasies
I have had many types of imaginative thoughts


Even romantacy's
Even romantic and fanciful thoughts


Of what to do when
About how I would react


The time was right, right
If and when I had the opportunity


You would beg me for mercy
If you were in trouble, you would come to me for help


Told me you ain't worth it
And then confessed that you do not believe you are worth the effort or that you deserve my help


And boy, I'd even make you cry, oh
And I would make you regret taking that tone


It would be so easy now
It would be straightforward to cause you to feel bad


To make you feel so bad, so bad
To cause you to feel terrible about yourself


But all I'm gonna do is bite my lip
But instead, I will control my emotions and not take action


And leave it at that
And not go any further, that will be the end of it


Oooooo
An expression of sentiment, sound of satisfaction or contemplation


I really don't have the time
I do not have sufficient time in my life


Because you're really no friend of mine
Because you have not proven yourself worth of my friendship


I really should make you pay
I could make you experience consequences for your previous behaviour


(Taking the fight)
Fighting back


(Always said)
A phrase that my mother has consistently repeated throughout my life
