Back In Your Head lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(originally by Tegan and Sara)
(I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
In your head...)
Build a wall of books between us in our bed
Repeat, repeat the words that I know we both have said
Relax into the need, we get so comfortable
Remember when I was so strange and likable?
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little..
When I jerk away from holding hands with you
I know these habits hurt important parts of you
Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable?
Nothing like this person, unlovable
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little..
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little..
Heading For The Moon lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night, my image bends its shape
I'll be written on the wind
Like in every sailor's dream
Heading for the moon
I reach out, my pulse begins to race
The crashing sounds of fears I've never faced
Let them echo off these waves
With thoughts as brave as they once were
Heading for the moon
Oh, look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night of never ending shapes
I'll be wishing off the blue
I still wanna send my stars
Heading for the moon
And look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
Ha, ha
Heading for the moon
So, don't close your eyes
Heading for the moon
Over the white
Your shadows may chase from behind
You might just put them out of your mind
Heading for the moon
Heart & Soul lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(from "Here & There" soundtrack)
Hey, there you go
Lying in the know
Day by day I watch you struggle through
Here must be hard to grasp
Going nowhere fast
Night by night I stumble just like you
And people you know - they don't understand
How hard it is to land
Well, I've been waking up
Tracing back the past
Erasing all the bad and
I've had just enough of biding all my
Time and judgments don't apply
When it's your soul
Talk about heart and soul
Here like refugees and there hope to be
Side by side of something you called true
Hand maybe you will but step by step you stared
Into the heart of a broken man
Well, I've been waking up
Tracing back the past
Erasing all the bad and
I've had just enough
Of biding all my time
And judgments don't apply when it's your soul
Talk about heart and soul
And if the world's not what you planned
I'm here to hold you when you land
Well, I've been waking up
Tracing back the past
Erasing all the bad and
I've had just enough
Of biding all my time
And judgments don't apply when it's your soul
I've been waking up
Tracing back the past
Erasing all the bad and
I've had just enough
Of biding all my time
And judgments don't apply when it's your soul
Talk about heart and soul
Hope lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
See me untethered
See me now
And see us together
And hope is what you came for
A drop in time we share
Hope and don't give up
Don't give up
If hope is a thing with feathers
Lost in the storm
Then see us fly together
And hope is what you came for
A drop in time we share
Hope and don't give up
Don't give up
See me, see me better
See me now
And see us together
I Want A Mom That Will Last Forever lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(from "Rugrats In Paris: The Movie" soundtrack)
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom to make it all better
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom who will love me whatever
I want a mom that'll take my hand
And make me feel like a holiday
A mom to tuck me in that night
And chase the monsters away
I want a mom that'll read me stories
And sing a lullaby
And if I have a bad dream to hold me when I cry
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom to make it all better
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom who will love me whatever
When she says to me, she will always be there
To watch and protect me I don't have to be scared
Oh, and when she says to me, I will always love you
I won't need to worry, cause I know that it's true
I want a mom when I get lonely
Who will take the time to play
A mom who can be a friend and a find rainbow when it's gray
I want a mom to read me stories
And sing a lullaby
And if I have a bad dream, to hold me when I cry
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom to make it all better
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom who will love me whatever
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom to make it all better
I want a mom that will last forever
I want a mom who will love me whatever
I want a mom
I want a mom
I want a mom that'll last forever
I want a mom that'll last forever
I want a mom
I want a mom
I want a mom that'll last forever
I want a mom
I want a mom that'll last forever
I want a mom that'll last forever
I want a mom...
Oh Dolores lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(from "The Horror Of Dolores Roach" soundtrack)
Oh Dolores, you've come undone
It happens every time, now isn't it a crime?
How they drag you down, Dolores
Girl you kill it, if you coulda
Get a grip you know you shoulda
Woulda gone down different
Till it all went wrong
All caught up in fight or flight
Down below or up in the heights
Happened at the speed of light
The horror of it all
Oh Dolores, you've come undone
It happens every time, now isn't it a crime?
How they drag you down, Dolores
How they drag you down, Dolores, woo
Crossing over into something
Making it all outta nothing
[?] meant to reinvent
You take the [?]
Oh Dolores, you've come undone
It happens every time, now isn't it a crime?
How they drag you down, Dolores
How they drag you down, Dolores
How they drag you down, Dolores
Together lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(from "Racetime" soundtrack)
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Tell me about the dream you have
The plan about us and the light dancing in the sky (Oh oh)
Forget about the past
'Cause when I'm by your side
My mind starts to fly
We have to stick together
(Together)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Together)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We can shine, we can shine together
We don't have to go very far
Just be here and now
And just be who you are
We have to stick together
(Together)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Together)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We can shine, we can shine together
We have to stick together
Funnel Of Love lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank, my head is spinning around and around
As I go deeper in the funnel of love
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin' around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't hide from the funnel of love
It's bound to get you someday
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't hide from the funnel of love
It's bound to get you someday
Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank, my head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
As I go deep into the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
As I go deeper in the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
[repeat till end]
My mind is a blank, my head is spinning around and around
As I go deeper in the funnel of love
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin' around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't hide from the funnel of love
It's bound to get you someday
It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in the knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love
I tried and I tried to run and hide
I even tried to run away
Ya just can't hide from the funnel of love
It's bound to get you someday
Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank, my head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
As I go deep into the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
As I go deeper in the funnel of love
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)
(Deeper, deeper, deeper into the funnel of)

Detour lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Emmylou Harris)
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
But because of me not knowin' now I pine
Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place
Where it said about face
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
(Let's go!)
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings were made of twine
No willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Lots of things I never knowed
But because of me not knowin' now I pine
Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place
Where it said about face
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
(Let's go!)
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings were made of twine
No willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Misty Blue lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Oh, its, been such a long long time
Looks like I got you off of my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
Just the mention of your name
Turns a flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
I should forget you
Heaven knows I tried
But, when I say
"I'm glad we're through."
My heart knows I've lied
Oh, its, been a long long time
Looks like I got you off of my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
I just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
Looks like I got you off of my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
Just the mention of your name
Turns a flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
I should forget you
Heaven knows I tried
But, when I say
"I'm glad we're through."
My heart knows I've lied
Oh, its, been a long long time
Looks like I got you off of my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
I just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
Walkin' After Midnight lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin’ after midnight searchin' for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for you
I stop and see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the sky turns gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere out walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for me
I stop and see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere out walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for me
Searchin’ for me
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin’ after midnight searchin' for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for you
I stop and see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the sky turns gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere out walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for me
I stop and see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hopin' you may be
Somewhere out walkin’ after midnight, searchin' for me
Searchin’ for me
Heartaches By The Number lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
Oh, you came back, but never meant to stay
And now I got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes, I got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you was a-coming home to stay
With hoping heart I waited for your knock at the door
I waited but you must've lost your way
And now I got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes, I got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
Oh, the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
Oh, you came back, but never meant to stay
And now I got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes, I got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you was a-coming home to stay
With hoping heart I waited for your knock at the door
I waited but you must've lost your way
And now I got heartaches by the numbers
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes, I got heartaches by the numbers
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
Oh, the day that I stop counting
Is the day my world will end
The End Of The World lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
If you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything is the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
If you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything is the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Night Life lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Willie Nelson)
When the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging around
The night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
And many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be's
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Listen to the blues they're playing
And listen what the blues are saying
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Mine is just another scene
From world of broken dreams
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
You will find me hanging around
The night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
And many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be's
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Listen to the blues they're playing
And listen what the blues are saying
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Mine is just another scene
From world of broken dreams
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
And the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Begging To You lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(originally by Marty Robbins)
I left you this morning couldn't take anymore
You laughed and you dared me to walk out the door
You said that I'd come back you knew what I'd do
And you know you were right cause I'm back here tonight begging to you
I won't disappoint you I'm begging to stay
That's what you wanted to hear anyway
It must make you happy to make me so blue
What a pityful sight I must be tonight begging to you
You don't want my loving but you let me stay around
I guess just to walk on so you won't touch the ground
To you it don't matter what you cause me to do
As long as you keep me begging to you
What a pityful sight I must be tonight begging to you
Oh don't want my loving but you let me stay around
I guess just to walk on so you won't touch the ground
To you it don't matter what you cause me to do
As long as you keep me begging to you
As long as you keep me begging to you
I left you this morning couldn't take anymore
You laughed and you dared me to walk out the door
You said that I'd come back you knew what I'd do
And you know you were right cause I'm back here tonight begging to you
I won't disappoint you I'm begging to stay
That's what you wanted to hear anyway
It must make you happy to make me so blue
What a pityful sight I must be tonight begging to you
You don't want my loving but you let me stay around
I guess just to walk on so you won't touch the ground
To you it don't matter what you cause me to do
As long as you keep me begging to you
What a pityful sight I must be tonight begging to you
Oh don't want my loving but you let me stay around
I guess just to walk on so you won't touch the ground
To you it don't matter what you cause me to do
As long as you keep me begging to you
As long as you keep me begging to you
You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Vince Gill)
You're the reason I'm riding around on recapped tires
You're the reason I'm hanging clothes outside on wires
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
You're the reason I've changed from beer from soda pop
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead, it's just another mouth to feed
You're the reason my good looks and my figure is gone
And that's the reason I got no hair to comb
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
And that's the reason my good looks and my figure is gone
That's the reason that I got no hair to comb
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
You're the reason I'm hanging clothes outside on wires
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
You're the reason I've changed from beer from soda pop
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead, it's just another mouth to feed
You're the reason my good looks and my figure is gone
And that's the reason I got no hair to comb
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
And that's the reason my good looks and my figure is gone
That's the reason that I got no hair to comb
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
But looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
I Fall To Pieces lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
(originally by Patsy Cline)
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Jewel)
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best
I wanna ride Old Paint goin' at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from the city lights
Goin' a cowhand's pace
I wanna pillow my head near the sleeping herd
While the moon shines down from above
I wanna strum my guitar and yodelay-hee-hee-hoo
That's the life that I love
[yodeling]
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna be a cowboy's yodelay-hoo-hee
That's the life I love the best
[yodeling]
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best
I wanna ride Old Paint goin' at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from the city lights
Goin' a cowhand's pace
I wanna pillow my head near the sleeping herd
While the moon shines down from above
I wanna strum my guitar and yodelay-hee-hee-hoo
That's the life that I love
[yodeling]
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna be a cowboy's yodelay-hoo-hee
That's the life I love the best

Hard Candy Christmas lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Alison Krauss)
Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
That I'll lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until the dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow take me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Bring me way down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
That I'll lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until the dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow take me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Bring me way down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

Shattered Dreams lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Allen Toussaint)
Shattered dreams of days gone by
Makes me want to sit right down and cry
All the plans I had and what it turned to
Just shattered dreams
Yesterday was long ago
When I first met you, you were my dream
All in vain, and it only brought me pain
Yes, and shattered dreams
Your goodbye shattered it all
For early this morning, blues brought me a call
Now all I had is gone, and all that's left
Is my shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams, baby
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
My shattered dreams
My shattered dreams
Makes me want to sit right down and cry
All the plans I had and what it turned to
Just shattered dreams
Yesterday was long ago
When I first met you, you were my dream
All in vain, and it only brought me pain
Yes, and shattered dreams
Your goodbye shattered it all
For early this morning, blues brought me a call
Now all I had is gone, and all that's left
Is my shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams, baby
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
My shattered dreams
My shattered dreams
Early In The Mornin' lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Allen Toussaint, B.B. King)
Hey Pedro, where we goin'?
(I don't know)
Turn on that flashlight
I...I think I'm kissin' your sister
Early in the mornin', and I can't get it right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the mornin'
Ooh, in the mornin'
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to all the places that we used to go
Went to his house, but he don't live there no more
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to his best friend's house, but he was out
Knocked on his mother's door, and she began to shout
'Scat, alley cat' in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to Doogy Chase to get somethin' to eat
The waitress looked at me and said, 'Ma, you look beat.'
Now it's early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin', baby)
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Oh, I had a lot of money when I started out
Couldn't find my baby and now my money's run out
Now it's early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Yeah, early in the mornin'
Hey! Pedro, wait up! (Alright
Watch out.
What you doin'? (I don't know)
(I don't know)
Turn on that flashlight
I...I think I'm kissin' your sister
Early in the mornin', and I can't get it right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the mornin'
Ooh, in the mornin'
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to all the places that we used to go
Went to his house, but he don't live there no more
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to his best friend's house, but he was out
Knocked on his mother's door, and she began to shout
'Scat, alley cat' in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Went to Doogy Chase to get somethin' to eat
The waitress looked at me and said, 'Ma, you look beat.'
Now it's early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin', baby)
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Oh, I had a lot of money when I started out
Couldn't find my baby and now my money's run out
Now it's early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Yeah, early in the mornin'
Hey! Pedro, wait up! (Alright
Watch out.

Romance In The Dark lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
In the dark, it's just you and I
There's not a sound, there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark
Now, in the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please, please, be still"
In the dark
But soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna find, you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, it's fun to be kissed in the dark
Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark
In the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips on my lips
And he begs me to "Please, be still, be still"
In the dark
Oh, but soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, fun to be kissed in the dark
Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark, yes
There's not a sound, there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark
Now, in the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please, please, be still"
In the dark
But soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna find, you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, it's fun to be kissed in the dark
Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark
In the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips on my lips
And he begs me to "Please, be still, be still"
In the dark
Oh, but soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, fun to be kissed in the dark
Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark, yes
How Blue Can You Get? lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get
My love is like a fire
Your love is like a cigarette
My love is like a fire
But baby yours is like a cigarette
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get
You're evil when I'm with you
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby
Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get
Hey that's a writing in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford
And you just said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said Thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give 'em back
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get
Ever since the day we met
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get
My love is like a fire
Your love is like a cigarette
My love is like a fire
But baby yours is like a cigarette
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get
You're evil when I'm with you
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby
Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get
Hey that's a writing in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford
And you just said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said Thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give 'em back
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get
Down Don't Bother Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Charlie Musselwhite)
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
Gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea
I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how hard I try
Y'know you never wanna treat me right
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
I'm gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea
I bought you a nice coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring
And now you've got the nerve to tell me
My love don't mean a thing
I've been down so long
'Til down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep, blue sea
I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how I try, I try
You never wanna treat me right
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep, blue sea
You know, down don't bother me
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
Gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea
I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how hard I try
Y'know you never wanna treat me right
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
I'm gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea
I bought you a nice coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring
And now you've got the nerve to tell me
My love don't mean a thing
I've been down so long
'Til down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep, blue sea
I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how I try, I try
You never wanna treat me right
I've been down so long
You know, down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep, blue sea

Rollin' And Tumblin' lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I woke up this mornin', didn't know right from wrong
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody, tear my barrelhouse down
Well, ahh, mmm-hmmm, owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Aaa, mmm-hmmm, oww, oh oh oh owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom, never would I come up
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, all whiskey and women, would not let me pray
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I woke up this mornin', didn't know right from wrong
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody, tear my barrelhouse down
Well, ahh, mmm-hmmm, owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Aaa, mmm-hmmm, oww, oh oh oh owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh

Down So Low lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
When you went away I cried
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong
The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it's burned out a hole
Where my love used to be
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well you know I love you
But that wasn't enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I've learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do
And it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I'd change
Well I'd change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it's starting to build
And a woman can't be a woman
Unless she's fulfilled
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
There's no one can
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong
The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it's burned out a hole
Where my love used to be
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well you know I love you
But that wasn't enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I've learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do
And it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I'd change
Well I'd change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it's starting to build
And a woman can't be a woman
Unless she's fulfilled
But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
There's no one can
Mother Earth lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Allen Toussaint)
You may high five me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is layin' for you
'Cause there's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half a city
Diamonds and pearls
You may buy an airplane, baby,
And fly all over this world
I don't care how great you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play the racehorses
You may own a racetrack
You may have enough money, baby,
To buy anything you like
I don't care how great you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all goes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play the racehorses
You may own your own track
You may have enough money
To buy anything you like
I don't care how great you are
No, I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is layin' for you
'Cause there's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half a city
Diamonds and pearls
You may buy an airplane, baby,
And fly all over this world
I don't care how great you are
I don't care what you're worth

You may have enough money, baby,

Crossroads lyrics - Cyndi Lauper (feat. Jonny Lang)
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now,
Save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin',
Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well,
Babe, in my distress
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now,
Save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin',
Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well,
Babe, in my distress
Wild Women Don't Get The Blues lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Well, you hear about all these women
Raising about their funky, funky, funky, funky men
They've got some trifling husbands
Lord knows, they've got a lot of no good friends
All these fretting women sitting around the house
All day long and they are wondering
When their loving papas are ever coming home
Wild women never worry, wild women never, never, they never worry
I got a sweet disposition, gonna wear my very own
I ain't never gonna spend not one lonely night at home all alone
I can go out , drink all the courvoisier I can find
Walk the streets all night alone
And I can tell any man to go to Hell if that man don't know how to act right
Wild women, we don't never worry, wild women never, never get the blues
Well, you fellas ain't ever gonna get nothing
If you keep acting like an Angel, child
Give it up tonight's a real, real good night
Y'all gotta learn how to get to together well
'Cuz I'll tell you one more thing, Francine never tells a lie
Wild women will be the first ones, Lord to learn how to fly
Wild women never worry, wild women don't get the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
Raising about their funky, funky, funky, funky men
They've got some trifling husbands
Lord knows, they've got a lot of no good friends
All these fretting women sitting around the house
All day long and they are wondering
When their loving papas are ever coming home
Wild women never worry, wild women never, never, they never worry
I got a sweet disposition, gonna wear my very own
I ain't never gonna spend not one lonely night at home all alone
I can go out , drink all the courvoisier I can find
Walk the streets all night alone
And I can tell any man to go to Hell if that man don't know how to act right
Wild women, we don't never worry, wild women never, never get the blues
Well, you fellas ain't ever gonna get nothing

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Do you ever catch yourself step out of time?
If i had a dollar every time i tried
I'd be living high and mighty
How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Who do you look at when you close your eyes?
If i had a dollar every time i cried,
I'd be living high and mighty, yes yes yes...
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty, ma my, ma my, ma my...
Then i guess it wouldn't be so bad without you,
Wouldn't even mind the things that you
Wouldn't walk away all steamy, cool
I'd be living high and mighty yea yea yea
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...
Living... ma my ma my ma my
Listen to the sound when ya...
I keep a coat rack by my bed
Up against your closet and next to my head
Didn't mean to trap your cloths
Keep the door blocked, closed
So you can't get in and i can't get out
Sink into my pillow and dream what it's about
To be living high and mighty
To be living high and mighty, yea yea yea
Ma my, ma my, ma my...
Living high and mighty
I' d be living high and mighty
And keep the door blocked closed
My, my, my,
Yea, yea, yea
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...
How do you see yourself inside your mind?

Into The Nightlife lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Got this endless itch to ride

And in love
And into the night life
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love

Want to dress for you tonight

Shake ya money maker
I will never ba a faker now, hey hey hey
Leave 'em standing waitin'
Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey
I'll take ya till ya all spun up...
Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Rocking Chair lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
All she ever wanted when the day turned indigo,
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there
She said her head don't move the same way
That ther hand ususlly does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders
Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air...
Rock me here rock me there
Rock me in my rocking chair
My oh my, rock me tender in the night air...
Za va ba, za ba bi ya.... ca va pas? za ba bi ya...
Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there..
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there
She said her head don't move the same way
That ther hand ususlly does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders
Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air...
Rock me here rock me there
Rock me in my rocking chair
My oh my, rock me tender in the night air...
Za va ba, za ba bi ya.... ca va pas? za ba bi ya...
Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there..
Echo lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Woke up to the clock
What knob makes it stop
Time to be aware
Time to just be there
You go, go , go, go,
I go, go , go, go,
Conversations rare
Trail off in the air
Echo, echo, home , home
All that rolls our way
Wheels that time will play
Happiness grows back
Heartache leaves a scratch
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everyplace i go
Never told you so
Echo.. echo.. home home
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days, all of my life
I will find you
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days all of my life
Landing next to you
When you're on the top
Notice what you've got
I will be your frail
When your on the trail
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everything you know
Everywhere you go
Echo... echo... home home...
What knob makes it stop
Time to be aware
Time to just be there
You go, go , go, go,
I go, go , go, go,
Conversations rare
Trail off in the air
Echo, echo, home , home
All that rolls our way
Wheels that time will play
Happiness grows back
Heartache leaves a scratch
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everyplace i go
Never told you so
Echo.. echo.. home home
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days, all of my life
I will find you
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days all of my life
Landing next to you
When you're on the top
Notice what you've got
I will be your frail
When your on the trail
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everything you know
Everywhere you go
Echo... echo... home home...
Lyfe lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya,it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink
But i'm learning to time myself
Turn it easy over
Put some spice back on the shelf
Like elevator buttons go on and on
Doors that open and shut without a cause
There's something greater than i dare to know
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
And watch it go
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya...
The struggle hard and deep
Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday
Little one, i take your hand
And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man...
And how i'll help ya understand...
Lyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink
Two steps forward, one step back
Cover my mouth, choke
And pull down my hat
Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
White washing down trodden people
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
Making us feel better that we are brave>
Like letters that fade into dust
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Peace, peace in, peace out
That's right, what 's it all about?
Huh?
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can bring ya to the bring...of lyfe
Along the way
Everyday, lyfe
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya,it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink
But i'm learning to time myself
Turn it easy over
Put some spice back on the shelf
Like elevator buttons go on and on
Doors that open and shut without a cause
There's something greater than i dare to know
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
And watch it go
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya...
The struggle hard and deep
Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday
Little one, i take your hand
And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man...
And how i'll help ya understand...
Lyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink
Two steps forward, one step back
Cover my mouth, choke
And pull down my hat
Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
White washing down trodden people
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
Making us feel better that we are brave>
Like letters that fade into dust
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Peace, peace in, peace out
That's right, what 's it all about?
Huh?
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can bring ya to the bring...of lyfe
Along the way

Raging Storm lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
You can fool some people
But you can't fool me
Harbor all the hate and greed
Threaten demise of democracy
There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind
With celebrityM
There are darker times for me
Behind smoke and mirrors, amputees
It's a different world
Now i see the deflowering
Of the birds and bees
There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
You can fight for the right to be
But ya better not do a bad show on MTV
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
You can fool some people but you can't fool me
Smart Bombs, Rock Stars, Suit Case Queens
God's love we deliver out destiny
There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea
There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea,......

Lay Me Down lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
An empty street, a quiet smile
Without steady feet
You know the reckless kind
Keep coming, coming back
To the same old place
With that wild eyed stare
Up in your face
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
He must have lost his soul
When he found the rent
He wrestles with control
Still hasn't pinned it yet
Once in , once in a while
Loose that cigarette
There's always some strange smile
Underneath his breath
Lay me down, let me down...
... passion's fist against a wall
The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
Take me there, take me there
To that wounded sound
It's just love's despair
Gone and hit the ground
Lay me down,, let me down
In a big old town... in a big old town...
Without steady feet
You know the reckless kind
Keep coming, coming back
To the same old place
With that wild eyed stare
Up in your face
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
He must have lost his soul
When he found the rent
He wrestles with control
Still hasn't pinned it yet
Once in , once in a while
Loose that cigarette
There's always some strange smile
Underneath his breath
Lay me down, let me down...
... passion's fist against a wall
The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
Take me there, take me there
To that wounded sound
It's just love's despair
Gone and hit the ground
Lay me down,, let me down
In a big old town... in a big old town...
Give It Up lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Pressure on me
Can't get out
Situation it's a melt down
Nine to fiving, want to shout
New direction, got to get to high ground
I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little going to turn it around...
Wash the week out
Of my mind
Slap my face on
Now i feel sublime
Put some sounds on
To unwind
Caught the moment
Just about the right time
I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door.. yea
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little...
Make my heart sing like a wild thing
Yea yea yea
Give it up....
Can't get out
Situation it's a melt down
Nine to fiving, want to shout
New direction, got to get to high ground
I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little going to turn it around...
Wash the week out
Of my mind
Slap my face on
Now i feel sublime
Put some sounds on
To unwind
Caught the moment
Just about the right time
I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door.. yea
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little...
Make my heart sing like a wild thing
Yea yea yea
Give it up....
Set Your Heart lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
When your heart is beating black and blue
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend
Set your heart free
Set your heart free...
Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening
Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...
When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know i love you
Set your heart free...
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend
Set your heart free
Set your heart free...
Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening
Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...
When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know i love you
Set your heart free...
Grab A Hold lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Going to make a confession
Going to hope that you listen
I'm not a story you've read about
I'm just what i am
And when you open your eyes up
In the morning you rise up
Wash yesterday form your face
And make a new plan
Oh it's my fascination with the anticipation
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
Let it go..
I'm going to write down a letter
And maybe some day you'll get it
And know what i meant to say
And make it ok
And if ya look at my picture
You know the one on your dresser
And if you think that you see a frown
Turn me upside down
Why don't you use your imagination?
Make it what you have to make it
If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...
You get your grip,
I'll hold you up.
Just reach with your hand
And then use your imagination
Make it want you have to make it
If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...
Going to hope that you listen
I'm not a story you've read about
I'm just what i am
And when you open your eyes up
In the morning you rise up
Wash yesterday form your face
And make a new plan
Oh it's my fascination with the anticipation
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
Let it go..
I'm going to write down a letter
And maybe some day you'll get it
And know what i meant to say
And make it ok
And if ya look at my picture
You know the one on your dresser
And if you think that you see a frown
Turn me upside down
Why don't you use your imagination?
Make it what you have to make it
If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...
You get your grip,
I'll hold you up.
Just reach with your hand
And then use your imagination
Make it want you have to make it
If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...
Rain On Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I saw you gather all your hopes
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me
I am a love in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere
But you can rain on me
Yea you can rain, rain on me
There was a time i got it wrong
Is shakes my memory
And all the time i had it all
It's just i couldn't see
I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care
But you can rain on me
Yea you can rain on me....
When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground, oh.
Running fast and free, oh yea
Well maybe time's going to wear you out
Or maybe you're going to come around , or
We'll just wait and see, oh yea...
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me
I am a love in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere
But you can rain on me
Yea you can rain, rain on me
There was a time i got it wrong
Is shakes my memory
And all the time i had it all
It's just i couldn't see
I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care
But you can rain on me
Yea you can rain on me....
When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground, oh.
Running fast and free, oh yea
Well maybe time's going to wear you out
Or maybe you're going to come around , or
We'll just wait and see, oh yea...
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
At Last lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song
Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you
I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known
You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known
You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song
Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you
I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known
You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known
You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last

Walk On By lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)
Stay lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play - just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song
We want to play - just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song
La Vie En Rose lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see La vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be La vie en rose
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see La vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be La vie en rose
Unchained Melody lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
Until You Come Back To Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I want to tell you baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you, listen you
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I want to tell you baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you, listen you
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
My Baby Just Cares For Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
Brad Pitt is not his style
And even Jennifer Aniston's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
Georege Clooney is not his style
And even Queen Latifah's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
Brad Pitt is not his style
And even Jennifer Aniston's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
Georege Clooney is not his style
And even Queen Latifah's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
Makin' Whoopee lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Hymn To Love lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to love
We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love
I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing
If one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love
O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love
Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
A hymn to love
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to love
We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love
I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing
If one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love
O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love
Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
A hymn to love
Sunny Side Of The Street lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Shine lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take
that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers
waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love
and tell you
Shine I'll stand by you...
I can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over wound
Gonna call down to this diamond
buried underground
Gonna pull you up
by your love, by your love
and tell you
When it's said and done
What you need will come
and time won't let me
Let you let me waste it this time
shine...
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take
that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers
waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love
and tell you
Shine I'll stand by you...
I can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over wound
Gonna call down to this diamond
buried underground
Gonna pull you up
by your love, by your love
and tell you
When it's said and done
What you need will come
and time won't let me
Let you let me waste it this time
shine...
It's Hard To Be Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You see me everywhere, in my underwear
You may wonder what I'm here to sell
But underneath my stare, I'm so naked there
There are secrets I'm dying to tell
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me; It's Hard to be Me
I am up here alone, on my glamorous throne
Want to thank all you people down there
I was once an unknown, like you but I've grown
I have so much I'm hoping to share
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me, It's Hard to be Me
I guess you think that it's hard for you
Walking 'round in your little shoes
You don't know how I've sacrificed
To live this life, to look so nice
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me, It's Hard to be Me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
You may wonder what I'm here to sell
But underneath my stare, I'm so naked there
There are secrets I'm dying to tell
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me; It's Hard to be Me
I am up here alone, on my glamorous throne
Want to thank all you people down there
I was once an unknown, like you but I've grown
I have so much I'm hoping to share
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me, It's Hard to be Me
I guess you think that it's hard for you
Walking 'round in your little shoes
You don't know how I've sacrificed
To live this life, to look so nice
It's Hard to be Me
Nobody knows what it's like to be
The envy of mediocrity
If you could see
All my depth and complexity
I'd think you'd agree
It's Hard to be Me, It's Hard to be Me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Madonna Whore lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
What are you thinking when you're looking at me
What can you tell me of reality?
I'm only woman... not just a Fantasy
and the flesh and blood is warmer than some color transparency
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
What are you thinking when you push me away
Was it some promise in your youth you made?
Holding out for something or hoping to be saved
Does it make you feel power or are you just afraid of me?
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
I don't know
if you say so
got so many do's and don'ts my head is spinning
Hey Romeo, j-j-j-just let get go
maybe everything could use a little sinning
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try and reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try and reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
What can you tell me of reality?
I'm only woman... not just a Fantasy
and the flesh and blood is warmer than some color transparency
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
What are you thinking when you push me away
Was it some promise in your youth you made?
Holding out for something or hoping to be saved
Does it make you feel power or are you just afraid of me?
Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more

Wide Open lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I used to stand in my doorstep
I used to dance in the rain
I used to cast out wishes
That never came back again
I used to sit in my garden
With pretty maids in a row
Silver bells and cockle shells
Waiting to see where we're goin'
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
Same old scenery
Made me real confused
Tired of the same old feeling
Of being lost and used
I follow lonely footprints
To see where they would lead
Dreaming that they would take me
Where I want to be
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
An air of confidence
Is now in my stride
I swing my shoulders gently
My hips from side to side
Now I live in the moment
Where there are no regrets
Now I keep my head up
With nothing to forget
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
I used to dance in the rain
I used to cast out wishes
That never came back again
I used to sit in my garden
With pretty maids in a row
Silver bells and cockle shells
Waiting to see where we're goin'
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
Same old scenery
Made me real confused
Tired of the same old feeling
Of being lost and used
I follow lonely footprints
To see where they would lead
Dreaming that they would take me
Where I want to be
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
An air of confidence
Is now in my stride
I swing my shoulders gently
My hips from side to side
Now I live in the moment
Where there are no regrets
Now I keep my head up
With nothing to forget
Wide Open for anything
Anything love would bring
Wide Open for anything
Anything and everything
Rather Be With You lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Sometimes I look at you
Feel like I make you blue
Wish I could make us all brand new
Wish I had some mystery left
To my personality
Then I could wink at you
and you'd laugh like you used to
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
I know it's hard not to
continue what we do
And remove a pattern
Like an old tattoo
I go with you
You go with me
But if we had some clarity
Well maybe we could stop ourselves
before we both get silly
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
Always felt strong
we belong
From the first time you stood next to me
Am I still your girl?
Cause in a crowded world
You are still the only man I see
Maybe we'd stop ourselves
Before we both get silly
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
Feel like I make you blue
Wish I could make us all brand new
Wish I had some mystery left
To my personality
Then I could wink at you
and you'd laugh like you used to
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
I know it's hard not to
continue what we do
And remove a pattern
Like an old tattoo
I go with you
You go with me
But if we had some clarity
Well maybe we could stop ourselves
before we both get silly
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
Always felt strong
we belong
From the first time you stood next to me
Am I still your girl?
Cause in a crowded world
You are still the only man I see
Maybe we'd stop ourselves
Before we both get silly
You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
You know I think we'll make it through

I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
Who Let In The Rain (New Version) lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Things like this
Can always take a little time
I always thought
We'd be together down the line
We start to fight
And can't get over what was said
'Cause you see black and white
And I see red
And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I'm not the same
When love gets strong
People get weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain
I make the bed and cover
Where you used to sleep
I'm smoothing over promises
Made in these sheets
I envy lovers passing by
Out on the street
'Cause what they have
I couldn't keep
And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I'm not the same
When love gets strong
People gets weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain...
Can always take a little time
I always thought
We'd be together down the line
We start to fight
And can't get over what was said
'Cause you see black and white
And I see red
And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I'm not the same
When love gets strong
People get weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain
I make the bed and cover
Where you used to sleep
I'm smoothing over promises
Made in these sheets
I envy lovers passing by
Out on the street
'Cause what they have
I couldn't keep
And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I'm not the same
When love gets strong
People gets weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain...
Comfort You lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Lot of havoc in the sea
People rushing endlessly
Sometimes I think it's just their way
Of capturing a better day
You keep rushing home baby
For your dose of reality
I'll hold out my hands to you
You do what you need to
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
An ocean of humanity
Some wash up along the street
It's hard to keep in stepping round
It's hard to keep that frame of mind
Trying to move with the sun
Gives the illusion that we're one
I'll be running next to you
We do what we need to
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
But when the moonlight washes over our bed
and the road slows
A lonely siren screeching 'round the bend
The cool air blows
Raising the hair on my skin
We come face to face
Try to let each other in
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
I will I will I will I will
I will I will I will I will
I will comfort you
People rushing endlessly
Sometimes I think it's just their way
Of capturing a better day
You keep rushing home baby
For your dose of reality
I'll hold out my hands to you
You do what you need to
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
An ocean of humanity
Some wash up along the street
It's hard to keep in stepping round
It's hard to keep that frame of mind
Trying to move with the sun
Gives the illusion that we're one
I'll be running next to you
We do what we need to
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
But when the moonlight washes over our bed
and the road slows
A lonely siren screeching 'round the bend
The cool air blows
Raising the hair on my skin
We come face to face
Try to let each other in
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
Ohh, whoa
I will comfort you (I will comfort you)
I will I will I will I will
I will I will I will I will
I will comfort you
Eventually lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I met a man
And talked about you
He seemed like a man from Osaka I knew
And he listened while I told him how you hurt me
And he consoled me when he told me he'd been hurt too
And he said we are inter-dependent
And the effects on each other never ending
And that the air has no boundaries
I think this water that surrounds me
Is the same water soaking through to you
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
I had some tea
With a gal from Paris
We talked about life, sex, love and poetry
And you can't help it
Your name came up again
And she said man those kind of guys
Really know how to steal all of the oxygen
And I said we are inter-dependent
And the effects on each other never ending
And that the air has no boundaries
I think this water that surrounds me
Is the same water soaking' through to you
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
I have a friend I confide in
He always says doll you got to learn not to lead with your chin
But you can't help it
It all comes up again
And then you have your fill
And your spill reaches down as far as a flood
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
Eventually
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
Eventually
Eventually
And talked about you
He seemed like a man from Osaka I knew
And he listened while I told him how you hurt me
And he consoled me when he told me he'd been hurt too
And he said we are inter-dependent
And the effects on each other never ending
And that the air has no boundaries
I think this water that surrounds me
Is the same water soaking through to you
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
I had some tea
With a gal from Paris
We talked about life, sex, love and poetry
And you can't help it
Your name came up again
And she said man those kind of guys
Really know how to steal all of the oxygen
And I said we are inter-dependent
And the effects on each other never ending
And that the air has no boundaries
I think this water that surrounds me
Is the same water soaking' through to you
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
I have a friend I confide in
He always says doll you got to learn not to lead with your chin
But you can't help it
It all comes up again
And then you have your fill
And your spill reaches down as far as a flood
So what comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
What comes floating to me
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
Eventually
Eventually
Will come floating back to you
Eventually
Eventually
Waiting For Valentino lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
When I was young,
way back in Sicily
you should have seen me
My hair then was long
There was this one young man
who always came around
and gave me this ribbon of velvet brown
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
Then you did what you were told
Married a cousin I didn't know
He'd fallen in love with my photograph
Oh why, worked harder then I could bare
and he never seemed to care
I bore his only son at the end of that year
There is a place I can slip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
To carry me off through time
I had lived long as I can
Made three generations American
Now my daughter takes my hand
and whispers to me
There is a place I can slip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
way back in Sicily
you should have seen me
My hair then was long
There was this one young man
who always came around
and gave me this ribbon of velvet brown
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
Then you did what you were told
Married a cousin I didn't know
He'd fallen in love with my photograph
Oh why, worked harder then I could bare
and he never seemed to care
I bore his only son at the end of that year
There is a place I can slip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
To carry me off through time
I had lived long as I can
Made three generations American
Now my daughter takes my hand
and whispers to me
There is a place I can slip away to
out in the desert of sand and dune
My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
Waiting for Valentino
His dark eyes lock on mine
Waiting for Valentino
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
To carry me off through time
This Kind Of Love lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
Woke up to find myself
Standing in another day
Filled with anxiety
I'm praying for a different way
I give it all I have
Till I have no more to give
I used to think I'd die for love
Now I'd rather live
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel
Just a little crazy
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
Stay walking through life
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Dreams cut like a knife
When you think you shouldn't dream at all
I saw a dark cloud
Looks like it follows us around
It doesn't take that much, you know
To make it tumble down
How did we ever go from being so happy
To suffer alone and be strong
Just so we can keep on giving up
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel
Just a little crazy
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
[Repeat Chorus]
Won't take us through the night
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
Woke up to find myself
Standing in another day
Filled with anxiety
I'm praying for a different way
I give it all I have
Till I have no more to give
I used to think I'd die for love
Now I'd rather live
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel
Just a little crazy
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
Stay walking through life
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Dreams cut like a knife
When you think you shouldn't dream at all
I saw a dark cloud
Looks like it follows us around
It doesn't take that much, you know
To make it tumble down
How did we ever go from being so happy
To suffer alone and be strong

This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you

Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you

Higher Plane lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Wake Me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away
I want to be with you
I want to be free
I want to be connected to everyone I see
(Ohh) Ooo... everyone moving with the same emotion
(Ohh) Ooo... and he looks just like a silent word being spoken
Wake Me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away
Rhythm is my spirit
Rhythm is my speech
Rhythm is pulsating
The rhythm of the street
(Ahh) Ooo... to find myself in the still of the thunder
(Ahh) Ooo... 'til another moment passing by pulls me under... pulls me under
Wake me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away
I want to be with you
Ohhhhhhh Yeah!
Wake me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away
I want to be with you
I want to be free
I want to be connected from my heart to be beat
Beam myself in the light against the darkness
'Til your love descends and smoothes away all the harshness, all the harshness
Wake me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane
Make the music and the rhythm
Carry me away
Wake me
Shake me
Come on take me
To a Higher Plane

Water's Edge lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim
I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
I saw the water shimmer
I heard the wind howl
I saw my own reflection
I just can't see it now
You say it's the way of the world
To somehow co-exists
That eventually life unfurls
A path to happiness
So I whisper your little secret
And repeat it under my breath
I'll save it for you in my heart
In case we both forget
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse
I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip
I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins
I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
I saw the water shimmer
I heard the wind howl
I saw my own reflection
I just can't see it now
You say it's the way of the world
To somehow co-exists
That eventually life unfurls
A path to happiness
So I whisper your little secret
And repeat it under my breath
I'll save it for you in my heart
In case we both forget
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse
I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip
I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins
I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
Home On Christmas Day lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Sitting in some hotel room
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming Christmas
Bought your present there today
[Pre-Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
The drunken Santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you
[Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be Christmas to me
Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so dam jolly
I wish you were here
[Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be Christmas to me
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming Christmas
Bought your present there today
[Pre-Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
The drunken Santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you
[Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be Christmas to me
Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so dam jolly
I wish you were here
[Chorus:]
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be Christmas to me
Early Christmas Morning lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Listen to the children sing
Watch them dancing all 'round the Christmas tree ...
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas morning ...
All around the world is sleeping
Little children there's no peeping
Wait and see what Santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning ...
Icicles and breakfast cakes ...
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning ...
All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces
Early Christmas morning ...
Early Christmas morning ...
Watch them dancing all 'round the Christmas tree ...
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas morning ...
All around the world is sleeping
Little children there's no peeping
Wait and see what Santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning ...
Icicles and breakfast cakes ...
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning ...
All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces
Early Christmas morning ...
Early Christmas morning ...
Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Christmas Conga lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
It's time to make the Christmas punch
Let's hang the streamers from the ceiling
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that Christmas feeling
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
The old white tree still looks good
And Grandma's angels got me thinking
String up the new lights,
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Let's hang the streamers from the ceiling
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that Christmas feeling
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
The old white tree still looks good
And Grandma's angels got me thinking
String up the new lights,
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions
[Chorus:]
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Minnie And Santa lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Worked with a woman named Minnie
One Christmas eve long ago
When I asked "What you doing this evening ?"
Minnie took on a seasonal glow
She said she'd be waiting for Santa
She'd be wearing a bright red bow
[Chorus:]
Minnie And Santa
Minnie And Santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"
Now Minnie could not be persuaded
That Santa just did not exist
She swore if she put up some mistletoe
Santa'd come give her a kiss
And there where she'd hung up her stockings
All in their silky, soft, sheen
She'd be laying in wait on a bear skin rug
Where the cookies and milk could be seen
[Chorus:]
Minnie And Santa
Minnie And Santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"
[musical interlude]
Now Minnie was older and wiser
Like a dear old Auntie to me
But the night that she ran off with Santa
Was a real epiphany
[Chorus:]
Minnie And Santa
Minnie And Santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"
Next Xmas I passed by the bakery
Staring out from on top of a cake
Was jolly old Santa with a big silly grin
And a gal in silk stockings and lace
Oh, Minnie and Santa...
One Christmas eve long ago
When I asked "What you doing this evening ?"
Minnie took on a seasonal glow
She said she'd be waiting for Santa
She'd be wearing a bright red bow

Feels Like Christmas lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time
Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...
Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you,
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya,
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time
Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...
Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you,
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya,
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...
Three Ships lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
[Chorus:]
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
And what was on those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
A little boy and our lady
On Christmas day in the morning
Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning
[Chorus:]
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
And what was on those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
A little boy and our lady
On Christmas day in the morning
Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning
[Chorus:]
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
New Year's Baby (First Lullaby) lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
When I first saw you you looked alien
Like someone in mid dance
Like a little old man
When you first held me in your tiny grip
You seemdd just like Popeye
With your cap and your souint
[Chorus:]
Shall we sail away with bluebirds and clear skies
No frowns today just smiles that will brighten our way
And I'll take this old man by the hand
To begin again... To begin again...
When I first looked into eyes like mine
I wondered what I learn
To see through them in time
When you first smiled with your toothless grin
You broke my heart break open
All the flood gates rushed in
[Chorus:]
Shall we sail away with bluebirds and clear skies
No frowns today just smiles that will brighten our way
And I'll take this old man by the hand
To begin again... To begin again...
Like someone in mid dance
Like a little old man
When you first held me in your tiny grip
You seemdd just like Popeye
With your cap and your souint
[Chorus:]
Shall we sail away with bluebirds and clear skies
No frowns today just smiles that will brighten our way
And I'll take this old man by the hand
To begin again... To begin again...
When I first looked into eyes like mine
I wondered what I learn
To see through them in time
When you first smiled with your toothless grin
You broke my heart break open
All the flood gates rushed in
[Chorus:]
Shall we sail away with bluebirds and clear skies
No frowns today just smiles that will brighten our way
And I'll take this old man by the hand
To begin again... To begin again...
December Child lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
Snuggle up and let me hold kiss
Your baby breath in the dark and cold
On a silent night long ago
Another mother held her babe and told him
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
They had come such a long long way
Rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of
A little king and his bed of hay
It is remembered every Christmas day
Little one, little son
All my life I've wished you welcome
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
Snuggle up and let me hold kiss
Your baby breath in the dark and cold
On a silent night long ago
Another mother held her babe and told him
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
They had come such a long long way
Rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of
A little king and his bed of hay
It is remembered every Christmas day
Little one, little son
All my life I've wished you welcome
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
In The Bleak Midwinter lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
Angels and arc-angels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only his mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss
What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a sheperd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
But what I can I give him
Give him my heart
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
Angels and arc-angels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only his mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss
What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a sheperd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
But what I can I give him
Give him my heart
Silent Night lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Heavenly hosts from heaven above
Guardian angels sing Alleluia
Christ our saviour is born
Christ our saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Heavenly hosts from heaven above
Guardian angels sing Alleluia
Christ our saviour is born
Christ our saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sisters Of Avalon lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Felt someone calling me into the howling of the wind.
I heard the reflection of a sound echoing through my skin ...
And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ...
Through my wild heart ...
Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon...
She is awakening in dark swells and mystery.
Unbridled night mares powerful and running free.
You could still hear her cries reverberating through the trees...
For the trampled flowers, the daughters of Eve, the Sisters of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon...
They brought her in in a new white dress...
But the stain left an ache on her mother's breast...
Now all that's left are the ghostly steps from a distant corridor...
And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ...
Through my wild heart ...
Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon...
Come on sisters... Come on sister...
I heard the reflection of a sound echoing through my skin ...
And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ...
Through my wild heart ...
Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon...
She is awakening in dark swells and mystery.
Unbridled night mares powerful and running free.
You could still hear her cries reverberating through the trees...
For the trampled flowers, the daughters of Eve, the Sisters of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon...
They brought her in in a new white dress...
But the stain left an ache on her mother's breast...
Now all that's left are the ghostly steps from a distant corridor...
And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ...
Through my wild heart ...
Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon...
Sisters Of Avalon...
Come on sisters... Come on sister...
Ballad Of Cleo And Joe lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Every day the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun ...
Little Joe got work for minimum wage.
Tries to get through another dead beat day.
At five o'clock he comes home to change,
Takes him many hours just to rearrange...
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
Every night the DJ kicks off the beat.
Little Cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun ...
Little Joe got work for minimum wage.
Tries to get through another dead beat day.
At five o'clock he comes home to change,
Takes him many hours just to rearrange...
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
Every night the DJ kicks off the beat.
Little Cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...
Fall Into Your Dreams lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Little baby, on my shoulder
I could fall into your dreams ...
Wrap myself up, all around you
Till you don't know what it means.
Dont lie shrugging your shoulders now like I shouldn't stare.
Don't sigh so deep.
Are you the kind of man that I hoped you would or wouldn't be ?
Maybe baby's gone to sleep ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep.
Pull myself a little closer,
I could feel your body breath
Hear the pulsing of my heartbeat
Rhyming rhythms endlessly.
If I could catch three wishes from a falling star,
One I would keep ...
And two I would put on your pillow with a lullaby ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep
Maybe baby's gone ...
Hold on to a thought at the end of the day ...
Someday we'll be watching the clouds as they're drifting away.
And you might think about leaving but I'll always stay.
Little baby on my shoulder,
I could fall into your dreams
Wrap yourself up all around me
Till you don't know what it means ...
I could fall into your dreams ...
I could fall into your dreams ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep ...
I could fall into your dreams ...
Wrap myself up, all around you
Till you don't know what it means.
Dont lie shrugging your shoulders now like I shouldn't stare.
Don't sigh so deep.
Are you the kind of man that I hoped you would or wouldn't be ?
Maybe baby's gone to sleep ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep.
Pull myself a little closer,
I could feel your body breath
Hear the pulsing of my heartbeat
Rhyming rhythms endlessly.
If I could catch three wishes from a falling star,
One I would keep ...
And two I would put on your pillow with a lullaby ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep
Maybe baby's gone ...
Hold on to a thought at the end of the day ...
Someday we'll be watching the clouds as they're drifting away.
And you might think about leaving but I'll always stay.
Little baby on my shoulder,
I could fall into your dreams
Wrap yourself up all around me
Till you don't know what it means ...
I could fall into your dreams ...
I could fall into your dreams ...
Maybe baby's gone to sleep ...
You Don't Know lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You don't know where you belong
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
You just need to belong somehow.
Relying on rhetoric ...
Not well versed on topics ...
Any idea what you're talking about ?
Revisions of history
Fair well in some company
But don't shove that bullshit down my throat
You don't know where you belong ...
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
To find something to swear to ...
Till you don't know what's right from wrong
You just need to belong somehow.
Left suppresses right
Right suppresses left
So what's the left, and what's right ?
You're told what to wear,
You're told what to like
I'd be nice if you'd think for yourself sometime,
But you don't.
Now you don't know where you belong ...
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity
You'll play it safe every time -
So life turns up empty
And you're so dissatisfied
Who are you blaming this time ?
Don't you know ?
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
You just need to belong somehow.
Relying on rhetoric ...
Not well versed on topics ...
Any idea what you're talking about ?
Revisions of history
Fair well in some company
But don't shove that bullshit down my throat
You don't know where you belong ...
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
To find something to swear to ...
Till you don't know what's right from wrong
You just need to belong somehow.
Left suppresses right
Right suppresses left
So what's the left, and what's right ?
You're told what to wear,
You're told what to like
I'd be nice if you'd think for yourself sometime,
But you don't.
Now you don't know where you belong ...
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along ...
Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity
You'll play it safe every time -
So life turns up empty
And you're so dissatisfied
Who are you blaming this time ?
Don't you know ?
Love To Hate lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Fashion fascists out in droves,
Some with powder up their nose ...
And the money men who had to steal away.
Telling stories who they've had.
Who's a no count, who looks bad.
Then they turn around and say how much they like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you... I love to hate you ... I really do.
Playing games with people lives
Change the rules when stakes are high.
All the vampires come out at night to play ...
Things are different today, that is always what you say.
Well maybe so, except for people like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you ...
Look around you can't look down.
You might miss out on what you think is cool ... You fool.
You've decided who I am, in this brief experience
And if it's worth spending your precious time on me.
My friend Mel he could relate,
Told me once I love to hate
I get so hot the words get stuck
Stuck like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you ...
It's not just the clothes that you wear
Or the way you do your hair
It's just you.
Some with powder up their nose ...
And the money men who had to steal away.
Telling stories who they've had.
Who's a no count, who looks bad.
Then they turn around and say how much they like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you... I love to hate you ... I really do.
Playing games with people lives
Change the rules when stakes are high.
All the vampires come out at night to play ...
Things are different today, that is always what you say.
Well maybe so, except for people like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you ...
Look around you can't look down.
You might miss out on what you think is cool ... You fool.
You've decided who I am, in this brief experience
And if it's worth spending your precious time on me.
My friend Mel he could relate,
Told me once I love to hate
I get so hot the words get stuck
Stuck like you ...
Like you ... Like you ? No.
I love to hate you ...
It's not just the clothes that you wear
Or the way you do your hair
It's just you.
Hot Gets A Little Cold lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Heaven,
You say it could be heaven ...
But I don't really know ...
Lovers come and go ...
When hot gets a little cold.
Infatuation is just the great anticipation
Of starring in that picture show
Let's wait until the credits roll ...
When hot gets a little cold.
I could get carried away but not anymore ...
What was it I heard you say you love me 'cause I'm strong
I hope that you're not wrong.
Heaven, you say it could be heaven,
Well I don't really know ...
I'll try not to let it show
When hot gets a little cold ...
When hot gets a little cold ...
When hot gets a little cold ...
You say it could be heaven ...
But I don't really know ...
Lovers come and go ...
When hot gets a little cold.
Infatuation is just the great anticipation
Of starring in that picture show
Let's wait until the credits roll ...
When hot gets a little cold.
I could get carried away but not anymore ...
What was it I heard you say you love me 'cause I'm strong
I hope that you're not wrong.
Heaven, you say it could be heaven,
Well I don't really know ...
I'll try not to let it show
When hot gets a little cold ...
When hot gets a little cold ...
When hot gets a little cold ...
Unhook The Stars lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Just when everything's in order and good, things fall apart
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the beginning,
And it comes back to the heart ...
I'm not really sad ... I'm not running, I'm looking ...
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards ...
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars ...
Do you remember when I told you all that I could and it seemed like too much ...
Well I was living your life hoping you'd never fall ...
If I held on tight enough ...
And letting go now is like a passport to anywhere ...
With time on my hands I can make a new start ...
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
Don't worry for me it's just I'm inspired
Waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibility
It rivals my memories ...
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the beginning,
And it comes back to the heart ...
I'm not really sad ... I'm not running, I'm looking ...
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards ...
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars ...
Do you remember when I told you all that I could and it seemed like too much ...
Well I was living your life hoping you'd never fall ...
If I held on tight enough ...
And letting go now is like a passport to anywhere ...
With time on my hands I can make a new start ...
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
Don't worry for me it's just I'm inspired
Waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibility
It rivals my memories ...
Searching lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Feel like I'm crawling on my belly
Longing and glad ...
Excited at prospects,
Humbled and mad
Needy as a baby ...
I just need a helpin' hand ...
Hold me like a cradle
With a touch you might understand ...
I'm searchin' ...
I'm searchin' ...
There I go jumping out of my skin.
Wound a little right.
Have to throw these covers down
To get some sleep tonight.
Tuck my heart in your pocket.
My dreams are insecure.
I could drink you to the marrow
And still cry out for more
'Cause I'm searching ...
I'm searching ...
And sometimes I feel like I'm just flying blind ...
And I can't help myself ...
And I can't stop myself ...
Longing and glad ...
Excited at prospects,
Humbled and mad
Needy as a baby ...
I just need a helpin' hand ...
Hold me like a cradle
With a touch you might understand ...
I'm searchin' ...
I'm searchin' ...
There I go jumping out of my skin.
Wound a little right.
Have to throw these covers down
To get some sleep tonight.
Tuck my heart in your pocket.
My dreams are insecure.
I could drink you to the marrow
And still cry out for more
'Cause I'm searching ...
I'm searching ...
And sometimes I feel like I'm just flying blind ...
And I can't help myself ...
And I can't stop myself ...
