Best of the Best Gold: Cyndi Lauper
  • Original
Dear John,

What's wrong ? Why can't you just be anything you want ? Why not ? Why not ? I tried to tell you then. You didn't understand. They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you. But hang on my dear, dear, John. Maybe you're not just like everyone, so what, so what.

And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more. You can't define yourself in terms of someone else. You can't say what you're thinking ? But I don't know what you've been drinking. But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on. Dear John, you could be anything you want. Why not ? Why not ?
Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John.

Antes de ser cantora de sucesso, Cyndi foi a vocalista de uma banda chamada Blue Angel. Eles gravaram um disco que não fez muito sucesso e, por isso, a banda acabou em pouco tempo.

O primeiro disco de Cyndi, She's so unusual de 1983, foi o primeiro feito por uma mulher a ter quatro hits entre as cinco mais das paradas.

Antes da fama, Cyndi chegou a cantar em um restaurante japonês, vestida de geisha, para poder pagar as sus contas.
