Keep Your Head Up

I've been waiting for someone

You don't even know how long

I have been waiting for this day, hey

I've been thinking about

All the reasons I had to get even

And to cause you pain

And I bet they all would say

The girl is justified

But all I'm gonna do is turn

And walk away tonight

To-ni-ni-night

Though I don't want to

And I don't need to

Be taking the fight

I'm lady-like

I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to

And I don't need to

But no matter how hard it gets

My mama always says to

Keep your head up

Your head up, your head up

Your head up, up

And no matter what

Your head up

Your head up

Your head up, up, up, up, up

I've had all kinds of fantasies

Even romantacy's

Of what to do when

The time was right, right

You would beg me for mercy

And boy, I'd even make you cry

It would be so easy now

To make you feel so bad, so bad

But all I'm gonna do is bite my lip

And leave it at that

At that, that, that

Though I don't want to

And I don't need to

Be taking the fight

I'm lady-like

I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to

And I don't need to

But no matter how hard it gets

My mama always says to

Keep your head up

Your head up

Your head up

Your head up, up

And no matter what

Your head up

Your head up

Your head up, up, up, up, up

I really don't have the time

Because you're really no friend of mine

I really should make you pay

Though I don't want to

And I don't need to

Be taking the fight

I'm lady-like

I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to

And I don't need to

But no matter how hard it gets

My mama always says to

(Keep your head up)

Though I don't want to

And I don't need to

Be taking the fight, I'm lady-like

I'm not gonna stop

Oh, I don't want to

And I don't need to

But no matter how hard it gets

My mama always says to

Keep your head up

(Always said)

Your head up

(Always said)

Your head up

Your head up, up

And no matter what

Your head up

Your head up

Your head up, up, up, up, up
