Do what you want to Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On - Don't you think it's strange? You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehowīlue as the sky, sombre and lonely Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside (Just relax, just relax) Don't you let those other boys fool you Gotta love that awful hairdo
Girl, 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
Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright And nothing seems to change, and it all will stay the same Ohh, don't you hesitate 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
