  • 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
