Cyndi Lauper ~ Like I Used To


I know you expected me to act just like a schoolgirl followed your rules just like a fool wrapped up in your world what's good for you don't mean that's so good for me what can I do, but hang around and lose myself just like I used to go round and round just like a loose screw Well I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand and take things lying down like before won't take your crap the way I used to ain't gonna be the way it used to, alright for you, ain't alright for me Maybe I was weak through the average person probably thinks I'm stronger when I need someone else I shut out myself, scared to say the wrong words what's right for you don't think that's alright for me you spread the glue, so I can't move and stick to you just like I used to go round and round just like a loose screw... Oh I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand... ...ain't gonna do it like I used to go round and round just like a loose screw alright for you ain't alright for me, no everytime you push me down... everytime you screw me around everytime you do that to me I'm my own possession I'm my own possession... more free lyrics

I know you expected me
to act just like a schoolgirl
followed your rules
just like a fool
wrapped up in your world
what's good for you
don't mean that's so good for me
what can I do, but hang around
and lose myself just like I used to
go round and round
just like a loose screw

Well I ain't gonna walk
with my heart in my hand
and take things lying down like before
won't take your crap the way I used to
ain't gonna be the way it used to,
alright for you, ain't alright for me

Maybe I was weak through the average
person probably thinks I'm stronger
when I need someone else
I shut out myself,
scared to say the wrong words
what's right for you
don't think that's alright for me
you spread the glue, so I can't move
and stick to you just like I used to
go round and round just like a
loose screw...

Oh I ain't gonna walk
with my heart in my hand...
...ain't gonna do it like I used to
go round and round just like a
loose screw
alright for you ain't alright for me, no
everytime you push me down...
everytime you screw me around
everytime you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession...

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
