Give Me the 80s

I'll take 'em any day of the week,
I can't lie
Sounds so good that it makes you get up out of your seat

Today, we're just sitting with our phones,
I can't lie
Got me feeling like an alien who just wants to go back home

Back home to where it wasn't perfect,
I can't lie
But it sho' was nice and sweet, so authentic

Give me some Freddie Jackson, You Are My Lady.
I can't lie
Give me some Rick James; come on, Give It To Me Baby

Give me some Sade, Smooth Operator,
I can't lie
Give me some Rene and Angela, I Love You More

Give me some Irene Cara, Flashdance What a Feeling,
I can't lie
Give me some Journey, Don't Stop Believin'

Please, just give me the Golden 80s
A lovely time of living, dancing, and making beautiful babies
