Cyndi Lauper - True Colors (1986) by Cyndi Lauper (보컬) on maniadb.com

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...

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.

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 inocence
But not your sole

Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast alittle, shy alittle, boy blue
Wise blood runs warm 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 disappears

Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...
Dance alittle, cry alittle...
Where are you boy blue
Where are you...

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 un happy
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

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
It True colors
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
It True colors
True colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

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 ha

'N Lately
You seem so far away
I wish i could say somthing
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 wan't 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

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 wan't anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
mmm...The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Love me a little, love me long

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding, yeah, today

Aw, picket lines, picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on
Tell me what's goin' on

Mother, mother
Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
Baby who are they to judge us
'Cause our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Good God

My grand-ma and your grand-ma were
Sit-tin' by the fire. - My grand-ma told
Your grand-ma: "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire."--

Chorus:
Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-n? - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?-

Look at my king all dressed in red.-
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I bet-cha five dol-lars he'll kill you dead.--
Jock-a-mo fee na-n?br)
(Repeat Chorus)

My flag boy and your flag boy were
sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told
Your flag boy: "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire."

(Repeat Chorus)

See that guy all dressed in green ? -
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He's not a man;
He's a lov-in' ma-chine.--
Jock-a mo fee na-n?--

(Repeat Chorus)

Out in the faraway nearby
Can you hear me 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 sad something wrong
Short nights, long dreams
Something happens in between
Then a wierd feeling
Like you're her but stll you're gone
...Oo, heart beats
Like a Knock on the door
But it sounds so far away

In the faraway nearby
Can you 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 no 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 hear me call

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

Ah, ah------
Ah, ah------

(got a one track mind)

Somethings 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
(got a one track mind)
I really think so

Ah, ah...

(got a one track mind)

I climb 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 thack mind

Ah, ah...I want everything and i want it now
