  • I've been waiting for so long
    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, oh

    And I bet they all would say
    The girl is justified, oh
    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
    Told me you ain't worth it
    And boy, I'd even make you cry, oh

    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, up

    And no matter what
    Your head up
    Your head up
    Your head up, up, up, up, up

    Oooooo

    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, (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 Writer/s: CHRIS BRAIDE, NINA WOODFORD
