Hair
Lady GaGaက Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
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

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I'm just here trying 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 as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair

Free as my hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Free as my hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Sometimes I waltz around
Put on red highlights
Just because I want my friends
To think I'm dynamite

And on Friday rocks in
High school dance
I got my bangs too hot
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

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I'm just here trying 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 as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair

Free as my hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

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 am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my 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

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I'm just here trying 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 as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair





Ooh, my hair, my hair

Overall Meaning

The song "Hair" by Lady Gaga is a powerful anthem about self-expression and identity. The song starts off with the singer talking about how her parents will try to change how she looks. If she's dressed cool, her parents will complain and if she's hot, her mother will cut her hair at night. Lady Gaga talks about how this affects her identity and how she just wants to be herself. She proclaims that she is her hair and that she wants to be loved for who she is.


The second verse talks about how sometimes she changes her appearance just to impress her friends. Even though she sometimes tries to fit in, her hair is always her identity. The chorus repeats the message of the song, that she wants to be herself and be free. Gaga uses her hair as a metaphor for her identity and how she expresses herself.


Throughout the song, Lady Gaga repeats "I am my hair" as a way of reaffirming her identity. She talks about how her hair is the glory that she bears and how she wants to be free and proud of who she is. The song is essentially a call for people to embrace their individuality and to be true to themselves.
