Lyrics

Acceptable in the 80s

[Verse 1]

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time

[Chorus]

I 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, the 80s

Yeah

[Verse 1]

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time

[Chorus]

I 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, the 80s

Yeah

[Verse 1]

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time

It was acceptable in the 80s

It was acceptable at the time
