Three little birds, sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweetLittle girls double-dutch on the concrete
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate
.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair downSapphire and faded jeans,
I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
.
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
just relax, just relax

Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
.
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?
.
'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 realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.
.
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
.
