Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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

Overall Meaning

In the song "Hair," Gaga expresses her desire to be true to herself and her individuality, which has evidently been stifled by societal expectations and pressure from her parents. She believes that her hair represents her true identity and wants it to be a reflection of her unique personality. The lyrics strongly condemn the idea of conformity and urge people to embrace their true selves even if it means going against the norm.


The first verse illustrates the conflict between Gaga's desire for self-expression and her parents' reluctance to accept it. Whenever she tries to dress "cool," her parents put up a fight, which shows that they have strict standards for how they want their daughter to look and behave. The line "And if I'm a hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night" suggests that they also have control over her appearance, and are willing to take extreme measures to ensure that she adheres to their standards. These actions leave Gaga feeling short of her identity, as she is not able to express herself through her hair, which is an extension of her personality.


The chorus contains the main message of the song, which is a plea for self-acceptance and the freedom to express oneself without fear. "I just wanna be myself, and I want you to love me for who I am" emphasizes the need for unconditional love and acceptance, which cannot be achieved when someone is forced to conform to societal expectations. She further emphasizes this idea in the lines "I'm as free as my hair, I'm a free as my hair, I am my hair," stressing the importance of individuality and the need to break free from societal constraints.

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)
I become someone I'm not comfortable being, but my parents try to force their idea of the person I ought to be onto me. And if I do things that make me feel good, like taking risks, my mom tries to bring me back to what is familiar and less risky.


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 next day after being forced to conform, I lose my sense of self and feel hopeless. I question why my parents can't let me live as who I am, with all of my quirks.


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 don't want to pretend anymore, I just want to be myself and I hope that people, whoever they are, can accept me for who I am. I am my hair, it's a part of me.

I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not created in my parents' image. I want to live and die as myself, free from these expectations. I'll fight to stay authentic and be happy just being me. And, in the end, I'll be as free as 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 when I'm around my friends, I want to stand out and feel accepted. I dye my hair different colors to make myself look unique. At the high school dance, I wear my bangs to conceal my embarrassment about not fitting 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
I want to be free to be me without any constraints. I want to make friends who accept me for who I am, because that's important to me. I don't want to have to hide anything, and I carry my hair as my badge of honor, representing all that I believe in myself.


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, it's part of me, and it represents who I am deep down inside. It's my way of showing the world that I am unique and worth being here, and all the greatness I hold within myself.


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
