Stop makin' the eyes at me
I'll stop makin' my eyes at you
What it is that surprises me is
That I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lightin' the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're lookin' for romance or
I don't know what you're lookin' for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984"
I wish you'd stop ignoring me
Because it's sendin' me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you're callin' me
And I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lightin' the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're lookin' for romance or
I don't know what you're lookin' for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984"
Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just bangin' tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness
Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're lookin' for romance or
I don't know what you're lookin' for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Said, from 1984"
