[Verse 1]
I wanna fall into you
And I wanna be everything you want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground
Then I see you and remember

[Refrain]
Unconditional love
Love, love
Unconditional love

[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind, you'd see
I fight myself all the time
When I see you I surrender

[Refrain]
Unconditional love
Love, love (Unconditional)
Unconditional

[Bridge]
Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds, oh
I ain't got no sense of direction now

[Verse 3]
I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky
I imagine what the clouds look like
When I see you I remember

[Refrain]
Unconditional love
Love, love
Unconditional love
When I see you I surrender

[Outro]
Unconditional love
(Love, love)
(By myself, oh) Yeah, ooh-ooh, oh (Unconditional love)
Love (Love, love) Oh-oh, oh
(Unconditional)
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love
(Love, love) Yeah, oh yeah
(Unconditional love) Yeah-yeah, ye-ye-ye-ye-yeah
(Love, love) Love, oh-love
(Unconditional) oh-love, oh, love
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love...

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
