Lyrics

Acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time
I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s
Yeah
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time

I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s
Yeah
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time
