Put Your Records On

Three little birds sat by my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete

Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
So don't you hesitate

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that Afro hairdo

Maybe sometimes we feel-a, feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Go on ahead, let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere
Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When are you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you wanna

And girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Go ahead, an' let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
