1985 (Original Version) Lyrics

Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hooDebbie just hit the wall, she never had it all
One workout a day, husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door when she turned 24
Only loved just one man, what happened to her plan?She was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake it right on the hood of Whitesnake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life and nothing has been alrightSince Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19-19-1985Woo hoo hoo
(1985)
Woo hoo hooShe's seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even St. Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham!, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on a member of Duran DuranWhere's the mini-skirt made of snake skin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?

Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows, on the radio wasSpringsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19-19-1985
(Woo hoo hoo)She hates time, make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, stop!And bring back Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 1985Springsteen, Madonna
(She hates time)
Way before Nirvana
(1985)
There was U2 and Blondie
(Make it stop)
And music still on MTV
(1985)Her two kids in high school
(She hates time)
They tell her that she's uncool
(1985)
'Cause she's still preoccupied
(Make it stop)
With 19-19-1985
