[Verse 1]
I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, I

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

[Chorus]
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

[Verse 2]
What in this world
Keeps us from tearing apart?
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and da-ah-ark

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

[Chorus]
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

[Chorus]
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night

[Outro]
Taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night...

Cyndi Lauper

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.
