Nacida bajo el nombre de Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper Thornton, el 22 de junio de 1953 en Brooklyn, Nueva York, Cyndi Lauper provenía de una familia inmersa en la diversidad cultural. De ascendencia italiana y suiza-alemana, su infancia estuvo marcada por una mezcla de influencias que más tarde se reflejarían en su música. Creció en Ozone Park, Queens, y desde pequeña mostró un interés indiscutible por la música y el arte. A los 12 años, ya estaba escribiendo canciones y aprendiendo a tocar la guitarra de manera autodidacta.
Su adolescencia no fue fácil; sufrió acoso escolar y tuvo que cambiarse de escuela en varias ocasiones. Sin embargo, durante estos años difíciles, Lauper encontró refugio en el arte y, especialmente, en la música de artistas como The Beatles y Billie Holiday. Decidió dejar su casa a los 17 años en busca de un ambiente más propicio para su desarrollo artístico.
A principios de la década de 1970, Cyndi Lauper comenzó a cantar en diversas bandas de cover mientras desarrollaba su propio estilo. Fue en el grupo "Blue Angel", donde fungió como vocalista principal, que comenzó a ganar atención. A pesar de los elogios iniciales y la grabación de un álbum con Polydor Records, la banda no consiguió el éxito comercial esperado y se disolvió en 1982.
Tras la disolución de Blue Angel, Lauper enfrentó una situación crítica. Sin embargo, su voz única y su presencia escénica jugaron a su favor. Más tarde

Storybook Song Lyrics
Storybook by Cindy Lauper He was looking for someone
Who could keep him guessing
A little fevered tap-dance of emotion
She was looking for someone
Who could keep her happy
Two ships collide on different oceans
You know how the story goes
How it's bound to end
Cinderella thinks she's found herself a shining prince
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
He was working his days away for next to nothing
To buy a piece of happy ever after
She decided she wanted more
Than he could offer
the invisible land of greener pastures
You know how the story goes
How it's bound to end
When reality awakes in never-never land
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
And I hear you say
That you're a victim of circumstance
Don't you wait for a rainy day
Give something real a chance
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
Yeah they'll tell you that the storybook is really true
But it's gonna break their hearts, living in make-believe
Oh yeah the one and only storybook that's really true
Is the one that'll change your heart
Give you something to believe in
