  • Whoa, whoa

    I've been here lookin' dynamite
    Alone against the wall
    Girls like you give it all so cold
    Talkin' cheap in a bathroom stall
    And you look so smooth
    Better tell me the truth
    Would you trade me
    Out for someone cool?
    I know you better than you do
    So put out your cigarette
    And kiss me on
    The lips tonight

    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back
    Let's go back
    Nineteen-eighty-three is calling
    I've been on my knees and crawlin'
    Back to you
    It's coming all back to me
    Nineteen-eighty-three

    I've got something that I've kept inside
    And the blood is on the blade
    You're there suckin' on a lollipop
    Like you haven't aged a day
    And it ain't so pretty when you're playin' cute
    When your body's up against some fool
    Does he feel it
    'Cause I feel it

    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back
    Let's go back
    Nineteen-eighty-three is calling
    I've been on my knees and crawlin'
    Back to you
    It's coming all back to me
    Nineteen-eighty-three

    The year I was born
    I won't
    Be ignored
    So get your feet on the floor
    I'm the only one
    Are you afraid I still make you move

    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back to
    Nineteen-eighty-three
    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back to
    Nineteen-eighty-three
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back
    Let's go back
    Nineteen-eighty-three is calling
    I've been on my knees and crawlin'
    Back to you
    It's coming all back to me
    Nineteen-eighty-three

    Me and you
    You and me
    Let's go back
    Let's go back
    Nineteen-eighty-three is calling
    I've been on my knees and crawlin'
    Back to you
    It's coming all back to me
    Nineteen-eighty-three

    Oh, oh, oh
    Nineteen-eighty-three
    Oh, oh, oh
