[Verse 1]
Face it girl, you've got a conflict
The body or the intellect?
Well, make up your mind
It's business, don't imagine his caress
Your eyes shouldn't undress, you better stay in line
[Pre-Chorus]
Clean white shirts and tight blue jeans
Are driving me outta my head
But money deals and my career
Will keep him out of my bed, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got responsibilities, but not much fun
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got all these abilities, you get a lot done
[Verse 2]
Shake hands, negotiate tough demands
Forget that he's a man, just close the deal
But blue eyes and muscular, lean thighs
Can take me by surprise, I'm not made of steel
[Pre-Chorus]
Clean white shirts and tight blue jeans
Are driving me outta my head
But money deals and my career
Will keep him out of my bed, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got responsibilities, but not much fun
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got all these abilities, you get a lot done
[Bridge]
When I go home, there's no one there
No one phones and no one cares
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got responsibilities, but not much fun
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got all these abilities, you get a lot done
[Outro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
You got responsibilities, but not much fun
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When you're a girl in the 80's
