Cyndi Lauper

Don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry anymore
I'll always love you
Yes, I know
But I don't wanna cry anymore
My heart, and I
Have been a fool, I know
If you don't love me
Let me go
'Cause I don't wanna cry anymore
Oh darling, how I tried
Just to keep you satisfied
But all of my love was in vain
If you had only cared
All about this love affair
You wouldn't let my tears
Fall like drops of rain
My heart and I
Have been a fool, I know
I guess it's time to close the door
'Cause I don't wanna cry anymore
I don't wanna cry anymore...
Don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry anymore
I-I don't, don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry anymore

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.
