Anyone who was alive in the 80′s will be likely to appreciate this video, but that shouldn’t stop the young ones from enjoying it. While this is not a music from my childhood or anything like that, I think it’s quite interesting as an example of the kind of music they used to make back then. Many people might say this is too much electro pop for their taste, but come on guys! It’s always a good idea to try new things, rather than spending your lives doing the very same routine. Listening to new kinds of music is an easy way of doing so.
In case you’re wondering, this tune is called “Don’t you want me” and it was released in the end of 1981; it was 13 weeks on chart and 5 weeks are number one. So naturally it became somewhat of a pop reference, as far as 80′s music is concerned. If you dig the tune and want to sing along the lyrics, just check after the leap.
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Don’t, don’t you want me
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t, don’t you want me
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I lived my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do
Don’t, don’t you want me
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t, don’t you want me
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby, Don’t you want me oh
