Put Your Records On

Corinne Bailey Rae

Three little birds

sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete

Maybe sometimes

we got it wrong

but it's alright
The more things seem to change

the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate

Go, put your records on

tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans

I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead

let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere

somehow

Blue as the sky

sombre and lonely
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that afro hairdo

Maybe sometimes

we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same

the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange

Go, put your records on

tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans

I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead

let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere

somehow

Just more than I could take

pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake

I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise

that you don't even have to try any longer
Do what you want to

Go, put your records on

tell me your favourite song
You go ahead

let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans

I hope you get your dreams

Just go ahead

let your hair down

Go, put your records on

tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans

I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead

let your hair down

Oh, You're gonna find yourself somewhere

somehow
