Lyrics for “Put Your Records On“
Song by Corinne Bailey Rae:

[Verse 1]
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 all right
The more things seem to change (Ooh)
The more they stay the same
Oh, 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

[Verse 2]
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sippin’ tea in a bar by the roadside
Just relax, just relax, don’t you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that afro hairdo

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it’s all right
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
Baby, 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
