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.

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

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.

You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side.
(just relax, just relax)
Don’t you let those other boys fool you,
Gotta love that afro hairdo.

Maybe sometimes we 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
You 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.

Just 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.

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 a head let your hair down.

Oh, you’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

They say it fits, if you let it.
Love is made to forget it.
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain, I pray for blindness.

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the star is not within me.

You snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom
The only thing that you keep changing is your mind.
My love keeps growning still the same
Just like a cancer, and you won’t give me a straight answer.

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown on love has fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me.

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom
The pains of love that they keep towing in my heart.
This flowers growing on your grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer.

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me.
If you still want me, please forgive me
Cause this star is not within me, is not within me, not within me.
You gotta be the one,
You gotta be the way,
Your name is the only one that I can say..
