Don't cry no more
Wipe away your tears
Don't cry no more, baby
Wipe away your tears

And you know, I know
That your love is real
Don't cry, don't cry
I'ma begging
Don't cry no more, baby

I'm begging you
Every tear I shed
Tells me that your love is true

You cried me a river
You cried me a sea
And now I believe without a doubt
That you really, really, really love me

Don't cry no more
You cried me a river
You cried me a sea
And now I believe without a doubt
That you really, really, really love me

Don't cry no more
Wipe away your tears
Don't cry no more, baby
Wipe away your tears
Don't you know, I know
That your love is real?

Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry

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.
