When I was eight I had a friend
With a pirate smile
Make believe and play pretend
We were innocent and wild
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate
Running down my alleyway
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
We loved to watch them dive and soar
Circle in the sky
Free as a bird from three to four
And never knowing why
Neighbors pulled their wash back in
Put away my Barbie and Ken
Look out overhead
While Sally's pigeons fly
I had a fool's confidence
That the world had no boundaries
But instincts and common sense
Come in different quantities
My heart began to
Skip to the beat
Of the boy next door
She had her eye across the street
On someone shy and tall
We lived our dreams
And challenged fate
In tears she told me she was late
And Sally let his pigeons out to fly...
On the dresser sits a frame
With a photograph
Two little girls in ponytails
Some twenty one years back
She left one night with just a nod
Was lost from some back alley job
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
She never saw those birds again
And me, I can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly...
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...
Dear John lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Dear John,
What's wrong ? Why can't you just be anything you want ?
Why not ? Why not ? I tried to tell you then. You didn't understand.
They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you.
But hang on my dear, dear, John.
Maybe you're not just like everyone, so what, so what.
And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more.
You can't define yourself in terms of someone else.
You can't say what you're thinking ? But I don't know what you've been drinking.
But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on.
Dear John, you could be anything you want.
Why not ? Why not ?
Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John.
What's wrong ? Why can't you just be anything you want ?
Why not ? Why not ? I tried to tell you then. You didn't understand.
They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you.
But hang on my dear, dear, John.
Maybe you're not just like everyone, so what, so what.
And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more.
You can't define yourself in terms of someone else.
You can't say what you're thinking ? But I don't know what you've been drinking.
But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on.
Dear John, you could be anything you want.
Why not ? Why not ?
Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John.
Like I Used To lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I know you expected me
To act just like a schoolgirl
Followed your rules
Just like a fool
Wrapped up in your world
What's good for you
Don't mean that's so good for me
What can I do, but hang around
And lose myself just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Well I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand
And take things lying down like before
Won't take your crap the way I used to
Ain't gonna be the way it used to,
Alright for you, ain't alright for me
Maybe I was weak though the average
Person probably thinks I'm stronger
When I need someone else
I shut out myself,
Scared to say the wrong words
What's right for you
Don't think that's alright for me
You spread the glue, so I can't move
And stick to you just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw...
Oh I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand...
...Ain't gonna do it like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Alright for you ain't alright for me, no
Everytime you pust me down
Everytime you screw me around
Everytime you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession...
To act just like a schoolgirl
Followed your rules
Just like a fool
Wrapped up in your world
What's good for you
Don't mean that's so good for me
What can I do, but hang around
And lose myself just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Well I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand
And take things lying down like before
Won't take your crap the way I used to
Ain't gonna be the way it used to,
Alright for you, ain't alright for me
Maybe I was weak though the average
Person probably thinks I'm stronger
When I need someone else
I shut out myself,
Scared to say the wrong words
What's right for you
Don't think that's alright for me
You spread the glue, so I can't move
And stick to you just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw...
Oh I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand...
...Ain't gonna do it like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Alright for you ain't alright for me, no
Everytime you pust me down
Everytime you screw me around
Everytime you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession...
Someone Like Me lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees
And as I stand inside I know that I
Can't watch life through a window
My indecision is blocking the door
It's like a religion
That I never ask for more
I might stumble and fall
What's someone like me,
Doing in a life like this?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
Sun comes up and streams
Through the blinds
And as I throw my clothes on
Do my hair wrong,
Stare into my mirror
Telling myself that everyone falls
Take the first step
That's the trick of it all
Bounce back like a ball
What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?...
My mind is filled with
Runaway dreams
I can't wake up
I don't know what it means
You see I fell asleep
With the television on
When I woke up it was gone
I read my horoscope
To see what's in store
I get a little lazy but
I want more, I want more
What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this...
And as I stand inside I know that I
Can't watch life through a window
My indecision is blocking the door
It's like a religion
That I never ask for more
I might stumble and fall
What's someone like me,
Doing in a life like this?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past
Sun comes up and streams
Through the blinds
And as I throw my clothes on
Do my hair wrong,
Stare into my mirror
Telling myself that everyone falls
Take the first step
That's the trick of it all
Bounce back like a ball
What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?...
My mind is filled with
Runaway dreams
I can't wake up
I don't know what it means
You see I fell asleep
With the television on
When I woke up it was gone
I read my horoscope
To see what's in store
I get a little lazy but
I want more, I want more
What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this...
A Part Hate lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Somber sister
This is a strange and bitter fruit
Because you taught me to sing
And the rhythm in my heart
And the rhythm in my feet is -
Why are the rainbows
Stolen from the sky
And locked up in boxes
Yellow, black, red and white
Like birds in their cages
Beating their wings on the bars
And there's a song that they're singing
It's a word in the world
It's a word in their hearts
A part hate
I heard a man say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in his face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away
Why are the children
Carrying guns, not books
Drug dealing, not learning
The golden rule
And the idea of freedom
Not just the same
Castle in the sky
Haunted by white-sheeted ghouls
Filled with hate me
And hate you
And proud of it too
A part hate
Heard a woman saying
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in her face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away
Why are the people
Running down the block
Rock throwing, not knowing
What else to do
But I'm just a spectator
And I can never know the pain
But when I hear
That whip cracking
I cry out tears of anger
I cry out tears of shame
A part hate
I heard myself say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in my face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away...
Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate...
This is a strange and bitter fruit
Because you taught me to sing
And the rhythm in my heart
And the rhythm in my feet is -
Why are the rainbows
Stolen from the sky
And locked up in boxes
Yellow, black, red and white
Like birds in their cages
Beating their wings on the bars
And there's a song that they're singing
It's a word in the world
It's a word in their hearts
A part hate
I heard a man say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in his face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away
Why are the children
Carrying guns, not books
Drug dealing, not learning
The golden rule
And the idea of freedom
Not just the same
Castle in the sky
Haunted by white-sheeted ghouls
Filled with hate me
And hate you
And proud of it too
A part hate
Heard a woman saying
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in her face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away
Why are the people
Running down the block
Rock throwing, not knowing
What else to do
But I'm just a spectator
And I can never know the pain
But when I hear
That whip cracking
I cry out tears of anger
I cry out tears of shame
A part hate
I heard myself say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in my face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away...
Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate...
Hat Full Of Stars lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I was folding up your letters
Unpacking winter clothes
Searching for my hat
I thought I left it by the door
So I tore around the room
Like a bird without a head
I saw your picture waving back at me
From underneath the bed
From a long, long time ago
When all I had
Was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure
The one that you wore
You loved the look
But you never looked inside
You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars
I'm trying to live in the present
But I keep tripping on the past
Finding out reality, well clarity
Comes in dribs and drabs
No we never had the time
For everything we had
So it felt like we had nothing
That's what makes this hat so sad
It was a long, long time ago
When all we had
Was a hat full of stars...
...You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars
Now whenever I'm alone
And I think I might forget
I wear my lucky hat
Just like a crown up on my head -
'Cause all I have
Is a hat full of stars...
If you could see me now
You would've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars...
Unpacking winter clothes
Searching for my hat
I thought I left it by the door
So I tore around the room
Like a bird without a head
I saw your picture waving back at me
From underneath the bed
From a long, long time ago
When all I had
Was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure
The one that you wore
You loved the look
But you never looked inside
You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars
I'm trying to live in the present
But I keep tripping on the past
Finding out reality, well clarity
Comes in dribs and drabs
No we never had the time
For everything we had
So it felt like we had nothing
That's what makes this hat so sad
It was a long, long time ago
When all we had
Was a hat full of stars...
...You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars
Now whenever I'm alone
And I think I might forget
I wear my lucky hat
Just like a crown up on my head -
'Cause all I have
Is a hat full of stars...
If you could see me now
You would've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars...
I Drove All Night lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight
Primitive lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
My heart keeps beating me to death
I see you move and I can't catch my breath
I want to touch you with my lips
I want to touch you with a kiss
My heart keeps pounding like a fist
I see you there and I just can't resist
You make me tremble like this
You make me tremble like a jellyfish
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
I hear you calling out my name
And when you talk your words they numb my brain
You make this fire in me start
I want to touch you with my heart
I hear you whisper in the dark
And when you touch me I just come apart
I feel the fever in your hands
We feel things we don't even understand
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
It's animal
Like the moon pulls at the tide
I'm at your side
The world in which we live
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me real
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
I see you move and I can't catch my breath
I want to touch you with my lips
I want to touch you with a kiss
My heart keeps pounding like a fist
I see you there and I just can't resist
You make me tremble like this
You make me tremble like a jellyfish
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
I hear you calling out my name
And when you talk your words they numb my brain
You make this fire in me start
I want to touch you with my heart
I hear you whisper in the dark
And when you touch me I just come apart
I feel the fever in your hands
We feel things we don't even understand
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
It's animal
Like the moon pulls at the tide
I'm at your side
The world in which we live
It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me real
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
My First Night Without You lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I'm driving home from work
Knowing you're not there
I used to hurry home
Now I don't even care
The sun is in my eyes
So I can't see
But when it sets down behind the
Mountain it's gonna be
My first night without you
My first night without you
My first night without you
Oh... without you
I sit here like a fool
Remembering everything
The way we used to talk
The songs that we used to sing
I've got to try and leave
The past behind
But my memory's so good
I think that I'm losing my mind
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do
Oh... without you
Will I be able to sleep
Will I lie in my bed and weep
What if I forget
And reach for you
Will I dream about you
My first night... my first night
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder how I'll get through
Oh... without you
Knowing you're not there
I used to hurry home
Now I don't even care
The sun is in my eyes
So I can't see
But when it sets down behind the
Mountain it's gonna be
My first night without you
My first night without you
My first night without you
Oh... without you
I sit here like a fool
Remembering everything
The way we used to talk
The songs that we used to sing
I've got to try and leave
The past behind
But my memory's so good
I think that I'm losing my mind
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do
Oh... without you
Will I be able to sleep
Will I lie in my bed and weep
What if I forget
And reach for you
Will I dream about you
My first night... my first night
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...
My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder how I'll get through
Oh... without you
Like A Cat lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I lived in your shadow
I drove your car
You thought I belonged in your four walls
I was never your bunny
I was never, never your pet
When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like a, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me, like a, like a
You thought I'd be purring
Curled up by your fire
Don't want to be kept for your desire
You said I should be happy
But it only made me sad
And when you could never tame me
That made you mad
No you could never tame me
Like a, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me
You rescued me I didn't want to be saved
I got tired of your missionary position babe
When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you hold me like a
No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat
I drove your car
You thought I belonged in your four walls
I was never your bunny
I was never, never your pet
When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like a, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me, like a, like a
You thought I'd be purring
Curled up by your fire
Don't want to be kept for your desire
You said I should be happy
But it only made me sad
And when you could never tame me
That made you mad
No you could never tame me
Like a, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me
You rescued me I didn't want to be saved
I got tired of your missionary position babe
When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like, like a, like a cat
Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you hold me like a
No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat
Heading West lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I drop my hat
To a restless wind
This time I'm not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
You're looking through me like I never was real
You say you love me but you won't let me feel
So I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some place where I can heal
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
I said my name
Under my breath
He turned down a twisted road
I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said
The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
And I'm heading west...
Just like a book I read...
To a restless wind
This time I'm not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
You're looking through me like I never was real
You say you love me but you won't let me feel
So I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some place where I can heal
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
I said my name
Under my breath
He turned down a twisted road
I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said
The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
And I'm heading west...
Just like a book I read...
A Night To Remember lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I look out my window
Into the pouring rain
I wish I could tell you
That I stopped hearing your name
And then I realize every thought of you
Runs a circle around my heart
I hear your voice haunting me
I feel your touch in the dark
It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night
Starlight send a message
Like a beacon into the night
To tell you I'm lonely
When I shut out the light
Because a part of me left with you
So I feel lost inside
Sometimes I look into my mirror
I see you shining through my eyes
It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night to remember
All these feelings I can't erase
From my heart
Endless dreams
Around my shoulders
I cannot free this restless heart
It was a night to remember
...Not enough time for you to stay...
...Can't forget the look on your face
Into the pouring rain
I wish I could tell you
That I stopped hearing your name
And then I realize every thought of you
Runs a circle around my heart
I hear your voice haunting me
I feel your touch in the dark
It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night
Starlight send a message
Like a beacon into the night
To tell you I'm lonely
When I shut out the light
Because a part of me left with you
So I feel lost inside
Sometimes I look into my mirror
I see you shining through my eyes
It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night to remember
All these feelings I can't erase
From my heart
Endless dreams
Around my shoulders
I cannot free this restless heart
It was a night to remember
...Not enough time for you to stay...
...Can't forget the look on your face
Unconditional Love lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I wanna fall into you
And I wanna be everything
You want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground
Then I see you and remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking
Me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind you'd see
I fight myself all the time
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love
Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds, oh
I ain't got no sense of direction now
I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky
I imagine what the clouds look like
When I see you I remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love, love
When I see you I surrender...
Unconditional love...
And I wanna be everything
You want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground
Then I see you and remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking
Me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind you'd see
I fight myself all the time
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love
Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds, oh
I ain't got no sense of direction now
I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky
I imagine what the clouds look like
When I see you I remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love, love
When I see you I surrender...
Unconditional love...
Insecurious lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I want to know if I'm something to you
Hey, I know I'm not your type
I may come on just a little too strong
But I guess that's 'cause I'm shy
I want to know if I'm seeing something
Or just looking starry eyed
I got to know do you really, really want me
I know what's on your mind
You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious
How can I trust in my intuition
I don't hear what you need to say
I got to know is this feeling fact or fiction
Take these doubts away
You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious
They say there is no cure
For someone so delirious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious...
Hey, I know I'm not your type
I may come on just a little too strong
But I guess that's 'cause I'm shy
I want to know if I'm seeing something
Or just looking starry eyed
I got to know do you really, really want me
I know what's on your mind
You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious
How can I trust in my intuition
I don't hear what you need to say
I got to know is this feeling fact or fiction
Take these doubts away
You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious
They say there is no cure
For someone so delirious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious...
Dancing With A Stranger lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Holding on to the rhythm
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Letting go my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play
I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away
I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air
Electric I like
Igniting endlessly
I started to dance...
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away...
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Letting go my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play
I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away
I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air
Electric I like
Igniting endlessly
I started to dance...
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away...
I Don't Want To Be Your Friend lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna thing
Just stay away baby
Don't wanna know if you're alright
Or what you're doin' with your life
Don't wanna hear that you'll stay in touch maybe
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I'm not over you yet
And I don't think I care
And I don't want to be your friend
I'll forget we ever met
I'll forget I ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby
You just gotta let me be
You gotta keep away from me
'Cause all I want to be is just free of you baby
Don't you come around
And say you still care about me
Go now, go now
Don't call me in the middle of the night...
You take it casually, and that's what's killing me
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
No, no baby
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
I don't want to be your friend
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I don't want to be your friend...
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna thing
Just stay away baby
Don't wanna know if you're alright
Or what you're doin' with your life
Don't wanna hear that you'll stay in touch maybe
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I'm not over you yet
And I don't think I care
And I don't want to be your friend
I'll forget we ever met
I'll forget I ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby

No, no baby
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
I don't want to be your friend
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I don't want to be your friend...
Kindred Spirit lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
If you think you're hearing something
And you can't think what it is
If you feel a quiet longing
Lift your heart into the wind
There you'll find my kindred spirit
There you'll meet me as a friend
It is just a kindred feeling
And a song to let you in...
And you can't think what it is
If you feel a quiet longing
Lift your heart into the wind
There you'll find my kindred spirit
There you'll meet me as a friend
It is just a kindred feeling
And a song to let you in...
Hole In My Heart (All The Way To China) lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I've got a ticket, no turning back
My destination...
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, I'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into
This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of...
This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom believe me it's a long way down
The gun was loaded, I didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in
This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of -
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love
My destination...
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, I'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into
This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of...
This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom believe me it's a long way down
The gun was loaded, I didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in
This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love
Change Of Heart lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I'm your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here
Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around
Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here
Waiting for your change of heart...
Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...
Just like I said I would be
I'm your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here
Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around
Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here
Waiting for your change of heart...
Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...
Maybe He'll Know (Second Version) lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know, well
Maybe he'll be my cure
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe he'll be, oh oh
Something calls to me,
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
Like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go
No no no no
Oh oh, oh oh, ...
[repeat song and sing along]
Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know, well
Maybe he'll be my cure
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe he'll be, oh oh
Something calls to me,
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
Like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go
No no no no
Oh oh, oh oh, ...
[repeat song and sing along]
Boy Blue lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul
Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking
You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears
Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...
Dance a little, cry a little...
Where are you boy blue
Where are you...
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul
Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking
You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears
Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...
Dance a little, cry a little...
Where are you boy blue
Where are you...
True Colors lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
[Whisper:] Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,

Calm Inside The Storm lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I can get up
On the right side of the bed
But that won't stop the rain
From coming down on my head
I can live my life
Playing hide and seek
But when I look inside
It's hard to make believe,
Ah ah
'n lately
You seem so far away
I wish I could say something
But I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes
I don't have to look at you
Boy, discontentment
Is-a-sneakin' through
You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Wo yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Don't you know
You should be holding me
But you're all locked inside
Why don't you throw me your keys
I'm like a rockin' ship
On your rollin' sea
You know crash lightnin'
Never frightens me, nah
...You never really wanted
But what u really needed
I wanna give u something
mmm... the calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Love me a little, love me long
On the right side of the bed
But that won't stop the rain
From coming down on my head
I can live my life
Playing hide and seek
But when I look inside
It's hard to make believe,
Ah ah
'n lately
You seem so far away
I wish I could say something
But I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes
I don't have to look at you
Boy, discontentment
Is-a-sneakin' through
You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Wo yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Don't you know
You should be holding me
But you're all locked inside
Why don't you throw me your keys
I'm like a rockin' ship
On your rollin' sea
You know crash lightnin'
Never frightens me, nah
...You never really wanted
But what u really needed
I wanna give u something
mmm... the calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Love me a little, love me long

The Faraway Nearby lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Out in the faraway nearby
Can your hear my call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway
Hot looks, cold words,
Don't know what it is you heard
But I didn't mean it,
If I said something wrong
Short nights, long dreams
Something happens in between
Then a weird feeling,
Like you're here but still you're gone
...Oo, heart beats
Like a knock on the door
But it sounds so faraway
In the faraway nearby
Can your hear me call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway
Big whisper, small scream
But it's not like what it seems
Locked up in the open
Don't know which way to go
Deserts, oceans
Leaving footprints in the sand
Hoping that you'll see them
And wishing you'd follow
...And walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha
And talk with me you got a plan, ah-ha
And hold me, and hold me
Don't stop... in the faraway nearby
Can you here me call
Can your hear my call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway
Hot looks, cold words,
Don't know what it is you heard
But I didn't mean it,
If I said something wrong
Short nights, long dreams
Something happens in between
Then a weird feeling,
Like you're here but still you're gone
...Oo, heart beats
Like a knock on the door
But it sounds so faraway
In the faraway nearby
Can your hear me call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway
Big whisper, small scream
But it's not like what it seems
Locked up in the open
Don't know which way to go
Deserts, oceans
Leaving footprints in the sand
Hoping that you'll see them
And wishing you'd follow
...And walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha
And talk with me you got a plan, ah-ha
And hold me, and hold me
Don't stop... in the faraway nearby
Can you here me call
911 lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
There's a riot in the kitchen and the bed's on fire
There's a locket in my pocket that I can't find
Oh I'm at the window whistling in the wind
I'm at my own front door and I can't get in
I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine
Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
The only time we talk is in our sleep
Oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
It's a typical case of too little, too soon
I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine
...My back is in the corner,
My boat is taking on water,
You can't wrap fire up in paper
And you can't rap your way out of here
Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
It's a typical case of too late, too soon
I'm dialing up 911...
There's a locket in my pocket that I can't find
Oh I'm at the window whistling in the wind
I'm at my own front door and I can't get in
I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine
Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
The only time we talk is in our sleep
Oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
It's a typical case of too little, too soon
I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine
...My back is in the corner,
My boat is taking on water,
You can't wrap fire up in paper
And you can't rap your way out of here
Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
It's a typical case of too late, too soon
I'm dialing up 911...
One Track Mind lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
(Got a one track mind)
Something's happening
I want everything
...What does the moment bring
I want it now
(Got a one track mind)
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so
Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!
(Got a one track mind)
People say to me
mind my Q's and P's
...Why do they bother me
Something inside
(Got a one track mind)
Comes over me,
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so
Ah, ah...
(Got a ...)
I climb up the stairs
I sit up and stare
But nobody's there
I walk ahead
(Got a one track mind)
You fall behind
Another victim
Got a one track mind
Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!
Ah, ah
(Got a one track mind)
Something's happening
I want everything
...What does the moment bring
I want it now
(Got a one track mind)
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so
Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!
(Got a one track mind)
People say to me
mind my Q's and P's
...Why do they bother me
Something inside
(Got a one track mind)
Comes over me,
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so
Ah, ah...
(Got a ...)
I climb up the stairs
I sit up and stare
But nobody's there
I walk ahead
(Got a one track mind)
You fall behind
Another victim
Got a one track mind
Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!
Money Changes Everything lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did - there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money
Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did - there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money
Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust

Girls Just Want To Have Fun lyrics -
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
When You Were Mine lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with u
I know that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy

Time After Time lyrics -
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after...
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after
Time after
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after...
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

She Bop lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans -
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up - good vibration -
Oop - she bop
Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
Oop - she bop - she bop
She bop--he bop--a--we bop

Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,

Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

Hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop - she bop - she bop
She bop - he bop - we bop...

All Through The Night lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile
We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Witness lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You're sorry now
And you'll change some how -
And I am what you need to get out, but -
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
Cause I'm crawling back
I'm searchin the right track -
I'm standin - at last I'm sure
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness
Jailbird chained to walk
How you used to - talk, talk, talk -
But the melody - none at all my love -
And I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
I don't wanna be
No I don't...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...witness - witness -
Witness - witness -
And you'll change some how -
And I am what you need to get out, but -
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
Cause I'm crawling back
I'm searchin the right track -
I'm standin - at last I'm sure
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness
Jailbird chained to walk
How you used to - talk, talk, talk -
But the melody - none at all my love -
And I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
I don't wanna be
No I don't...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...witness - witness -

I'll Kiss You lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Went down to the local gypsy
And I handed her the same line -
'You know what I want from you
So honey won't ya gimme #9'
Cause you know lately I ain't feelin so great -
Last time she gave me love potion #8
And you know pretty baby how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart -
The gypsy told me that the first thing
That would happen you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure
That your boyfriend isn't busy
Cause you won't wanna eat
And you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk
And you won't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on this first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait!
I'll Kiss you
Gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll Kiss you
Don't tell me nothing - I - I - don't wanna know
And twidely - dee - and twidely - dum
I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you
Hopped into a taxi, and I told the driver
Got to get me cross town
Killed the bottle, started seeing double
When the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion #8
#9 was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standing on the corner
Everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me take me where I want to be
I'll Kiss you...
...I'll Kiss you
I'll Kiss you
And I handed her the same line -
'You know what I want from you
So honey won't ya gimme #9'
Cause you know lately I ain't feelin so great -
Last time she gave me love potion #8
And you know pretty baby how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart -
The gypsy told me that the first thing
That would happen you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure
That your boyfriend isn't busy
Cause you won't wanna eat
And you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk
And you won't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on this first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait!
I'll Kiss you
Gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll Kiss you
Don't tell me nothing - I - I - don't wanna know
And twidely - dee - and twidely - dum
I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you
Hopped into a taxi, and I told the driver
Got to get me cross town
Killed the bottle, started seeing double
When the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion #8
#9 was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standing on the corner
Everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me take me where I want to be
I'll Kiss you...

He's So Unusual lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
You talk of sweeties bashful sweeties
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me
He goes to college
And gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows
He's up in his Latin and Greek
But in his chicin' he's weak cause,
When I want some lovin'
And I gotta have some lovin'
He says please stop it please
he's so unusual...
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me
He goes to college
And gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows
He's up in his Latin and Greek
But in his chicin' he's weak cause,
When I want some lovin'
And I gotta have some lovin'
He says please stop it please
he's so unusual...

Maybe He'll Know (First Version) lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be my cure
ah, ah, ah.
Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be - oh
Something calls to me
I know, I know
I hear an echo start to pound like a drum, I'm
Chanting a song, anchor me-
But don't take too long... no, no, no, no
I got an anxious feeling
Got this ache engraved in me like stone-
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me - say you'll never go.
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be my cure
ah, ah, ah.
Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be - oh
Something calls to me
I know, I know
I hear an echo start to pound like a drum, I'm
Chanting a song, anchor me-
But don't take too long... no, no, no, no
I got an anxious feeling
Got this ache engraved in me like stone-
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me - say you'll never go.
I Had A Love lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I had a love
Sweeter than you'll know
Oh I had a lifetime in a moment
He was a boy
I loved so tenderly
He could have been
But he walked away - oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby don't go
I thought maybe I should have
Told you long before
Something inside is erasing
The time back to the memory-
When you were mine.
Sweeter than you'll know
Oh I had a lifetime in a moment
He was a boy
I loved so tenderly
He could have been
But he walked away - oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby don't go
I thought maybe I should have
Told you long before
Something inside is erasing
The time back to the memory-
When you were mine.
Fade lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I think I'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, I'll just fade
Fade you away
I watch your window from the street
I guess I'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you
Never thought I'd be so proud-
But I will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, I will fade, fade you away
I think I'm walkin' down your street...
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, I'll just fade
Fade you away
I watch your window from the street
I guess I'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you
Never thought I'd be so proud-
But I will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, I will fade, fade you away
I think I'm walkin' down your street...
Anna Blue lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Anna Blue oh
Anna Blue oh
Anna
Not me, not you
Just time and a sigh
On a line look in fine print-
The small town dream
To be part of the scene
You can wear it with a style
In your eyes a story never spoken-
Anna Blue oh
Anne Blue oh
Anna
Just me, just you
Just a wide eyed girl
Turn around quick-
I'm walkin' my high heeled shoes
And I'll be talkin' pretty smooth
Like some souped up cosmo girl
In a stupifying world
But before I fall I wake up crying
Oh... when I sit back
I'll sigh and think...
Anna Blue oh
Anna
Not me, not you
Just time and a sigh
On a line look in fine print-
The small town dream
To be part of the scene
You can wear it with a style
In your eyes a story never spoken-
Anna Blue oh
Anne Blue oh
Anna
Just me, just you
Just a wide eyed girl
Turn around quick-
I'm walkin' my high heeled shoes
And I'll be talkin' pretty smooth
Like some souped up cosmo girl
In a stupifying world
But before I fall I wake up crying
Oh... when I sit back
I'll sigh and think...

You don't want to know
Can't blame me if I love you so
I'll be your dancer
A silky eyed lady
Dreamin' of moonlight
Hopin' that maybe
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me
We could be sweethearts...
Late lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
My oh my it's a quarter to eight
Don't shoot me down dreamboat I'm a late date
Don't ask me no questions I ain't got a smooth line,
Please a' wait a little longer tryin' to make it there on time
Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop
Lazy, dizzy, daisy it's a quarter to whoops, uh, oh
Doin' nothing honey just a' thinkin' of you
So don't you give me no suggestions
while I ain't got the time
Won't ya move a little closer and a kiss
me one more time
Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop
It doesn't matter cause
I know that you would love me too-
But I was late late late.
Don't shoot me down dreamboat I'm a late date
Don't ask me no questions I ain't got a smooth line,
Please a' wait a little longer tryin' to make it there on time
Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop
Lazy, dizzy, daisy it's a quarter to whoops, uh, oh
Doin' nothing honey just a' thinkin' of you
So don't you give me no suggestions
while I ain't got the time
Won't ya move a little closer and a kiss
me one more time
Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop
It doesn't matter cause
I know that you would love me too-
But I was late late late.
Take A Chance lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Squeeze your hand and tell you that I care
Park in the dark and kiss goodnight
Thrill me h-h-hold me tight
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me
I'll fall still when you walk in the room
I'll look up and you'll be lookin' c-c-cool
Curled up smile upon your lips
One button low my heart just flips
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me
The stars complete the melody
Could you say you belong to me
And as they ride the milkyway
Baby, baby can I have this dance
Baby, baby can you take a chance someday-
Did I tell you now
I wanna...
Squeeze your hand and tell you that I care
Park in the dark and kiss goodnight
Thrill me h-h-hold me tight
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me
I'll fall still when you walk in the room
I'll look up and you'll be lookin' c-c-cool
Curled up smile upon your lips
One button low my heart just flips
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me
The stars complete the melody
Could you say you belong to me
And as they ride the milkyway
Baby, baby can I have this dance
Baby, baby can you take a chance someday-
Did I tell you now
I wanna...
Just The Other Day lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Just the other day-
I heard you walked out on her
Just the other day-
I heard it's not forever
You say, anyway-
You said it's not like before
Just the other day-
Did she let you go
Did she let you go.
Just the other day-
You lost the girl you adored
Just the other day-
You boyish love was the cause
Did she cost you pain
You could have held out for more
Just the other day-
Did she let you go
Did she let you go
I see your walking alone
Will you still talk to me
If she's not by your side anymore.
I heard you walked out on her
Just the other day-
I heard it's not forever
You say, anyway-
You said it's not like before
Just the other day-
Did she let you go
Did she let you go.
Just the other day-
You lost the girl you adored
Just the other day-
You boyish love was the cause
Did she cost you pain
You could have held out for more
Just the other day-
Did she let you go
Did she let you go
I see your walking alone
Will you still talk to me
If she's not by your side anymore.
I'm Gonna Be Strong lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
I can see
You're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid
That I'll plead with you to stay
So I'm gonna be strong
I'll let you go your way
Love is gone
There's no sense in going on
And your pity now
Would be more than I could bare
So I'm gonna be strong
I'll pretend I don't care
I'm gonna be strong
And stand as tall as I can
I'm gonna be strong
And let you go along
And take it like a man
When you say it's the end
I'll hand you a line
I'll smile and say
Don't you worry it's fine
And you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry.
You're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid
That I'll plead with you to stay
So I'm gonna be strong
I'll let you go your way
Love is gone
There's no sense in going on
And your pity now
Would be more than I could bare
So I'm gonna be strong
I'll pretend I don't care
I'm gonna be strong
And stand as tall as I can
I'm gonna be strong
And let you go along
And take it like a man
When you say it's the end
I'll hand you a line
I'll smile and say
Don't you worry it's fine
And you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry.
Lorraine lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you
I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
of how he found you LORRAINE
He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you
I listen to the rain...
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you
I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
of how he found you LORRAINE
He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you
I listen to the rain...
Everybody's Got An Angel lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later somebody's gonna love you well
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.
Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later everybody's bound to tell
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.
Sooner or later somebody's gonna love you well
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.
Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later everybody's bound to tell
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.

Above The Clouds lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
There's a place where the sun breaks through
And the wind bites cold and hard
Stings my ears and
Tears my eyes
When the day starts to shout out loud
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
When the light is against your face
And your smile is soft and sound
That's when you tell me all your fears
And all your dreams
So proud
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
I try and tell you
To keep your head upright
Don't swing your sword and shield against the night
Don't block your blessings, boy
You don't have to fight
You don't have to fight
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
And the wind bites cold and hard
Stings my ears and
Tears my eyes
When the day starts to shout out loud
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
When the light is against your face
And your smile is soft and sound
That's when you tell me all your fears
And all your dreams
So proud
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
I try and tell you
To keep your head upright
Don't swing your sword and shield against the night
Don't block your blessings, boy
You don't have to fight
You don't have to fight
Stand tall
And glide
When you're all alone in the crowd
Don't fall
Don't hide
When you walk above the clouds
When you walk above the clouds
Come On Home lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
It will be whatever it is you're looking for
It will be whatever it is you need
It will be better even though I know you're not sure
Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La
Look up as it soaks into your skin
And remember who you are
And come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You could come on home
If you find the sun don't shine
Through every window
If you find a moonlit night
Still makes you blue
If you find out why you
Feel the way you do
Glance over your shoulder boy
You know I'll be there
I've found in the past you know
Sometimes life isn't fair
So come on home
When the road that you've been
Walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought
Was greener isn't there
You could come on home
Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La
Look up as it soaks into your skin
And remember who you are
And come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You could come on home
Come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You can come on home
When life isn't fair
Don't go there
Now you can come on home
You could come on home
It will be whatever it is you need
It will be better even though I know you're not sure
Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La
Look up as it soaks into your skin
And remember who you are
And come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You could come on home
If you find the sun don't shine
Through every window
If you find a moonlit night
Still makes you blue
If you find out why you
Feel the way you do
Glance over your shoulder boy
You know I'll be there
I've found in the past you know
Sometimes life isn't fair
So come on home
When the road that you've been
Walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought
Was greener isn't there
You could come on home
Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La
Look up as it soaks into your skin
And remember who you are
And come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You could come on home
Come on home
When the road that you've
Been walking gets too long
Don't be scared
In case the grass you thought was
Greener, isn't there
You can come on home
When life isn't fair
Don't go there
Now you can come on home
You could come on home
Disco Inferno lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
To my surprise, one hundred storeys high
People getting loose now

Hard Candy Christmas lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
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 get 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 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 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
'cause I'll be fine
(I'll be fine)
Oh, 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

The Goonies 'R' Good Enough lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Here we are hanging on the strains of greed and blues.
Break the chain and we break down
Oh
it's not real if you don't feel it.
Unspoken expectations
ideas you used to play with
They're finally taking shape.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Now you say you're starting to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can.
You mirror me stumbling through
those old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
or maybe you're out of place.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good
it's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Old fashioned superstitions I find too hard to break
Or maybe you're out of place.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
...
Good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good
it's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough.
Break the chain and we break down
Oh
it's not real if you don't feel it.
Unspoken expectations
ideas you used to play with
They're finally taking shape.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Now you say you're starting to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can.
You mirror me stumbling through
those old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
or maybe you're out of place.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good
it's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Old fashioned superstitions I find too hard to break
Or maybe you're out of place.
What's good enough for you is good enough for me
...
Good enough for you is good enough for me
It's good
it's good enough
it's good enough for me.
Good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough.
The World Is Stone lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Stone, the world is stone
It's no trick of the light, it's hard on the soul
Stone, the world is stone, cold to the touch
And hard on the soul in the gray of the streets
In the neon unknown, I look for a sign
That I'm not on my own, that I'm not here alone
As the still of the night and the choke of the air
And the winners' delight and the losers' despair
Closes in left and right, I would love not to care
Stone, the world is stone from a faraway look
Without stars in my eyes through the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor wherever I go
There's no warmth anymore
There's no love anymore
So I turn on my heels, I'm declining the fall
I've had all I can take with my back to the wall
Tell the world I'm not in, I'm not taking the call
Stone, the world is stone but I saw it once
With the stars in my eyes when each color rang out
In a thunderous chrome, it's no trick of the light
I can't find my way home in a world of stone
It's no trick of the light, it's hard on the soul
Stone, the world is stone, cold to the touch
And hard on the soul in the gray of the streets
In the neon unknown, I look for a sign
That I'm not on my own, that I'm not here alone
As the still of the night and the choke of the air
And the winners' delight and the losers' despair
Closes in left and right, I would love not to care
Stone, the world is stone from a faraway look
Without stars in my eyes through the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor wherever I go
There's no warmth anymore
There's no love anymore
So I turn on my heels, I'm declining the fall
I've had all I can take with my back to the wall
Tell the world I'm not in, I'm not taking the call
Stone, the world is stone but I saw it once
With the stars in my eyes when each color rang out
In a thunderous chrome, it's no trick of the light
I can't find my way home in a world of stone
You Make Loving Fun lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go
I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why
Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
I don't have to tell you you're the only one
You make loving fun
It's all I wanna do
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go
I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why
Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
I don't have to tell you you're the only one
You make loving fun
It's all I wanna do
