Producer: Lennie Petze Cyndi Lauper

I want to know if I'm something to you
Hey, I know I'm not your type
I may come on just a little too strong
But I guess that's 'cause I'm shy

I want to know if I'm seeing something
Or just looking starry eyed
I got to know do you really, really want me
I know what's on your mind

You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious

How can I trust in my intuition
I don't hear what you need to say
I got to know is this feeling fact or fiction
Take these doubts away

You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious

They say there is no cure
For someone so delirious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious

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.
