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 want to 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 these streets

I´ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer
I swear
I´m as free as my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Free as my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
I am my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
I am my hair
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh
Free as my hai-ai—ai—ai—ai—ai—r (x4)

Sometimes, I want some raccoon or red highlights (uh huh uh huh)
Just because I want my friends to think I´m dynamite (uh huh uh huh)
And on Friday rock city high school dance (uh huh uh huh)
I´ve got my bangs to hide that I don´t stand a chance (Uh huh uh huh)
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 these streets

I´ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer
I swear
I´m as free as my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
Free as my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
I am my hair
(Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh)
I am my hair
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh
Free as my hai-ai—ai—ai—ai—ai—r (x4)


I just want to be free
I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
I don´t want to change
And I don´t want to be ashamed
I´m the spirit of my hair
It´s all the glory that I bear I´m my hair, I am my hair
I´m my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
I am my hear
It´s all the glory that I bear
