Hair
Lady Gaga/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
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 some raccoon
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
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
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'm my hair
I am my hair, I'm hair
I am my hair, I'm 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
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
I am my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
Ooh I'm my hair, I'm my hair
The song Hair by Lady Gaga is a celebration of individuality and freedom, with the main theme being the importance of one's hair in expressing their identity. The song discusses the struggle of wanting to be oneself while also facing opposition from family, friends and society in general. It also emphasizes the need to fight against societal norms and the desire to be free and true to oneself.
The chorus, "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," encapsulates the message of the song. The repetition of the phrase "I've had enough, this is my prayer, that I'll die living just as free as my hair" solidifies the idea that one’s hair is not just a physical attribute but an expression of their inner self.

And if I'm hot shot
Mom will cut my hair at night
(Uh huh, uh huh)
Whenever I try to express myself through my clothes, my parents object, and if I become too flamboyant, my mom punishes me by cutting my hair behind my back.
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
The effect of my parents' attempts to suppress my individuality is that I feel like I'm losing my sense of identity. In frustration, I ask them why they won't let me be myself.
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'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
I've had enough of people rejecting me for being who I am. I just want to be myself, even if I have to stand on my own. My hair is a symbol of my unique personality, and I want to be free to express it without fear or shame. This is my prayer, and I vow to be as free as my hair, because I am my hair.
Sometimes I some raccoon
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
Sometimes I dye my hair in unconventional colors, like raccoon or red, just so my friends will think I'm cool. At school dances, I hide behind my bangs because I feel like I don't fit in.
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
All I want is to be liberated from the society's oppressive expectations and be accepted for who I am. I want to have genuine friendships where I'm valued for my personality. I refuse to change who I am or feel ashamed for being different. My hair is an extension of my spirit and the greatest expression of my pride.
I am my hair, I'm my hair
I am my hair, I'm hair
I am my hair, I'm hair
I am my hair, I'm hair
It's all the glory that I bare
My hair represents who I am, and I wear it as proudly as I would wear my identity. It's my greatest asset, and I take immense pride in it.
I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
Ooh I'm my hair, I'm my hair
I am as liberated as my hair, and it shows. It's a physical manifestation of my spirit, and I'm unafraid to express it to the world.

Not sure that Flashdance or I Will Survive fits in - a little too jarring. Also there could have been a better segue from the piano solo at the beginning
