Corinne Bailey Rae
Put Your Records On
[Verse 1]
Three little birds sat on 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe sometimes
We've got it wrong, but it's all right
The more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
Ooh, don't you hesitate
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Post-Chorus]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[Verse 2]
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside (Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Got to love that afro hairdo
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe sometimes
We feel afraid, but it's all right
The more you stay the same
The more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Yeah!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Girl)
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Post-Chorus]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[Bridge]
'Twas more than I could take
Pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize
That you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Baby, ooh!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Uh, let your hair down)
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams (Hope you get your dreams)
Just go ahead, let your hair down (Baby, let your hair down)
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Yeah, oh, go)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Hey, hey)
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams (Sapphire faded jeans)
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Outro]
Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
