CORINNE BAILEY RAE
"Put Your Records On"
(John Beck / Steve Chrisanthou / 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Ooh, don't you hesitate

[Chorus:]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite 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

[Post-Chorus:]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside (Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Got to love that afro hairdo

[Pre-Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song (Yeah!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Girl)
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down

[Post-Chorus:]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

[Bridge:]
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to

[Chorus:]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song (Baby, ooh!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Uh, let your hair down)
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams (Hope you get your dreams)
Just go ahead, let your hair down (Baby, let your hair down)

[Chorus:]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song (Yeah, oh, go)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Hey, hey)
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams (Sapphire faded jeans)
Just go ahead, let your hair down

[Outro:]
Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
