Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper (born June 22, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and LGBT rights activist. Her career has spanned over 30 years. Her debut solo album She's So Unusual (1983) was the first debut female album to chart four top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100—"Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", and "All Through the Night"—and earned Lauper the Best New Artist award at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985. Her success continued with the soundtrack for the motion Picture The Goonies and her second record True Colors (1986). This album included the number one single "True Colors" and "Change of Heart", which peaked at number three.

"Change of Heart" is the second single released by American Singer Cyndi Lauper from her second album, True Colors in 1986. The single went gold in the US and peaked at No. 3 in the Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a fan favorite and Lauper still often performs it. Lauper re-recorded it acoustically. Popular remixes by Shep Pettibone were also released. A music video was filmed in Trafalgar Square in London. It features Lauper and her band performing the song in front of a large group of people.

The Bangles sang background vocals on the original recording.

A live version of the song was released on Lauper's live album/DVD, To Memphis, with Love.

Here I am

Just like I said I would be

I'm your friend

Just like you think it should be

Did you think I would stand here and lie

As our moment was passing us by

Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat

To turn it around

Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Days go by

Leaving me with a hunger

I could fly

Back to when we were younger

When adventures like cars we would ride

And the years lied ahead still untried

While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat

To turn it around

Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Turn it around...

Blind leading blind

Never hear the laughter

Search through time

Nothing reveals the answer

If it's truth that you're looking to find

It is nowhere outside of your mind

I bide my time

Waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat

To turn it around

Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Turn it around...

Waiting for your change of heart...
