The 80's

You saw me sitting in the corner
And you just sat there right next to me
You asked me "are you feeling lonely?"
Well, loneliness is just a word, you see
I came in here just for the music
For all the things that it makes me feel
I came to exorcise my demons
To bury those days when only pain was real
Threat me right
My dreams will come true tonight
Come with me, set me free
We'll be alright
I should have met you in the 80's
Back when I was the dance floor queen
Maybe you think that I'm too old for dancing
You should have met me when I was sixteen
Dance!
You know what I mean
Dance!
Like you were sixteen
Tonight I'm drinking myself sober
Till I see what I want to see
A few more drinks and you will be the perfect lover
You will be the one that I truly belive
That is right
My dreams will come true tonight
Come with me, set me free
We'll be alright
I should have met you in the 80's
Back when I was the dance floor queen
Maybe you think that I'm too old for dancing
You should have met me when I was sixteen
Dance!
Like I was sixteen
Dance!
You know what I mean
I should have met you in the 80's
Back when I was the dance floor queen
Maybe you think that I'm too old for dancing
You should have met, I should have kissed you
I should have kissed you in the 80's
Back when I was young and free
Maybe you think that I'm too old for loving
Well, tonight I'll make you love me
Dance!
Like you were sixteen
Dance!
You know what I mean
Dance!
I'll set me free
Dance!
Like I was sixteen
