(Cyndi Lauper, Nines Marcello)
Sometimes I look at you
Feel like I make you blue
Wish I could make us all brand new
Wish I had some mystery left
To my personality
Then I could wink at you
And you'd laugh like you used to

You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you

I know it's hard not to
Continue what we do
And remove a pattern
Like an old tattoo
I go with you
You go with me
But if we had some clarity
Well maybe we could stop ourselves
Before we both get silly

You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you

Always felt strong
We belong
From the first time you stood next to me
Am I still your girl?
Cause in a crowded world
You are still the only man I see

Maybe we'd stop ourselves
Before we both get silly

You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you

You know I think we'll make it through
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you

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.
