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

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

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

Don't Cry No More lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

Don't cry no more

Wipe away your tears

Don't cry no more, baby

Wipe away your tears



And you know, I know

That your love is real


Don't cry, don't cry

I'ma begging

Don't cry no more, baby


I'm begging you


Every tear I shed

Tells me that your love is true



You cried me a river

You cried me a sea

And now I believe without a doubt

That you really, really, really love me


Don't cry no more


You cried me a river

You cried me a sea

And now I believe without a doubt

That you really, really, really love me



Don't cry no more

Wipe away your tears

Don't cry no more, baby

Wipe away your tears


Don't you know, I know

That your love is real?


Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry no more, baby

Don't cry no more, baby


Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry no more, baby

Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry


Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry

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

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

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

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

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

High And Mighty lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

Listen to the sound when ya....
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...

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

Into The Nightlife lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

Got this endless itch to ride
Into the night
Fortune cookie says i'm right
Kung Foo like

Shake your body Mister
Gonna make ya body blister, say hey, hey, hey
Don't wanna have ta make ya
I don't wanna have ta shake ya down, hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Pitter, patter doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life

Want to dress for you tonight
Under the light
Shot up like a satellite
Into the night
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

I'll take ya till ya all spun up...

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light......

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..

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...

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
