Lyrics[]
You're my '80s baby, beating on my covers
Your soul is wild, for you're not like the others
Rock and roll is a lifestyle, they don't get it
We give new meaning to the sound of heavy metal
Want you, I need you to take me tonight
Need you, to leave me, to lie
You're my '80s, my '80s baby, yeah
You're my '80s, my '80s baby, yeah
You're my '80s baby, beating on my covers
Your hair is long, your life is rich, roaring waters
And you, you got a soul like no one, no other
You got roses in your eyes, sittin' sweet, alma maters
Rape me, I really need you to save me tonight
Hold me, nowhere to hide
You're my '80s, my '80s baby, yeah
You're my '80s, my '80s baby, yeah
I want you, I want you, I want you
And I need you, I need you, I need you
And I want you, I want you, I want you
And I need you, ba-dah, ahh
I getting closer to, look, getting it
But we don't wanna bother
We don't, we don't wanna bother
Oh no, we don't wanna bother
Getting closer to the gate
But, baby bottle bother
So get a little meaner, get a-meaner, bad-ah-bum
Got my '80s, my '80s baby, yeah
You're my '80s, you're my '80s
My '80s baby
My '80s baby
You're my '80s, you're my '80s
My '80s baby
My '80s baby
