Hair Lyrics

[Post-Chorus]
Free as my hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
As free as my hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair, hair


[Bridge]
I just wanna be free, I just wanna 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'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 hair (Glory that I bare)
I'm my hair, I am my hair
It’s all the glory that I bare
I'm 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)
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“Hair” is a song from Lady Gaga’s second studio album “Born This Way”. The song starts out with a slow piano melody which then turns into a dance beat influenced by rock music. The saxophone played by Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band is reminiscent of the 80s. It is also a throwback at Gaga’s childhood. The title of the song is a metaphor for identity and freedom.

What did Lady Gaga say about "Hair"?
Genius Answer

Lady Gaga

It’s uptempo, but it’s sort of got this Bruce Springsteen vibe to it. I actually had Clarence Clemons come in. He played saxophone. It’s really interesting, because it’s putting saxophone on this really huge electronic record.

Clarence Clemons, who plays saxophone on the song, about his interpretation of the song:

It’s a story about growing up. She gave him very few instructions about how to play on the song. She said ‘we’ll put the tape on and you just play. She said to me, ‘Play from your heart. Play what you feel.’ It was all very pure.I play sax through the whole song and I have a solo. I’m surprised I’m getting paid for this. I would have done it for free. I can never believe something that feels so good earns me money. She’s the real deal. All the craziness and stuff, there’s a purpose to all of it. She has no boundaries … It’s a day I’ll never forget. I always wait for Bruce to call and say ‘come do this’ and it’s real exciting for me. I never saw this happening, though.
