Put Your Records On Lyrics

[00:08.26] Three little birds sat on my window
[00:13.16] And they told me I don't need to worry
[00:18.62] Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
[00:23.28] Little girls double-dutch on the concrete
[00:28.57] Maybe sometimes we got it wrong
[00:34.89] But it's alright
[00:37.12] The more things seem to change
[00:42.30] The more they stay the same
[00:46.02] Don't you hesitate
[00:47.99] Girl, put your records on
[00:50.76] Tell me your favorite song
[00:53.02] You go ahead, let your hair down
[00:57.73] Sapphire and faded jeans
[01:00.75] I hope you get your dreams
[01:03.20] Just go ahead, let your hair down
[01:08.21] You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[01:15.75] Blue as the sky, sunburned and lonely
[01:20.50] Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside
[01:23.54] (Just relax, just relax)
[01:26.22] Don't you let those other boys fool you
[01:30.67] Gotta love that afro hairdo
[01:36.01] Maybe sometimes
[01:40.13] We feel afraid, but it's alright
[01:44.52] The more you stay the same
[01:49.83] The more they seem to change
[01:53.41] Don't you think it's strange?
[01:55.34] Girl, put your records on
[01:58.08] Tell me your favorite song
[02:00.60] You go ahead, let your hair down
[02:05.28] Sapphire and faded jeans
[02:08.49] I hope you get your dreams
[02:10.75] Just go ahead, let your hair down
[02:15.54] You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[02:20.80] Just more than I could take
[02:23.15] Pity for pity's sake
[02:25.61] Some nights kept me awake
[02:28.29] I thought that I was stronger
[02:30.55] When you gonna realize
[02:33.22] That you don't even have to try any longer?
[02:38.12] Do what you want to
[02:40.34] Girl, put your records on
[02:43.18] Tell me your favorite song
[02:45.84] You go ahead, let your hair down (Let your hair down)
[02:50.28] Sapphire and faded jeans
[02:53.14] I hope you get your dreams (Hope you get your dreams)
[02:55.54] Just go ahead, let your hair down (Baby, let your hair down)
[03:00.59] Girl, put your records on
[03:03.09] Tell me your favorite song
[03:05.55] You go ahead, let your hair down
[03:10.14] Sapphire and faded jeans (Sapphire and faded jeans)
[03:13.41] I hope you get your dreams
[03:15.63] Just go ahead, let your hair down
[03:20.16] Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[03:27.05]
