"True Colors" lyrics

Phil Collins' version

Phil Collins (image via Wikipedia) 

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize ..it's
hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid
to let them show
your true colors
true colors
are beautiful
like a rainbow
   
Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy,
can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid
to let them show
your true colors
true colors
are beautiful
like a rainbow

And I'll see your true colors 
shining through 
I see your true colors 
and that's why I love you 
so don't be afraid
to let them show 
your true colors 
true colors 
are beautiful  like a rainbow

"Girls Just Want To have Fun" lyrics

by Cyndi Lauper

I come home in the morning light

My mother says when you gonna live your life right

Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones

And girls they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night

My father yells what you gonna do with your life

Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one

But girls they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have -

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Girls - they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl

And hide her away from the rest of the world

I want to be the one to walk in the sun

Oh girls they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Girls - they want to have fun

Oh girls just want to have fun,

They want to have fun,

They want to have fun....
