 Struggling with 1984? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Standing in line (standing in line)
As we wait outside (waiting outside)
The rush, the high
The dance floor's open waiting for us to collide
We are king, we are queen (we are king, we are queen)
We are living a dream (living a dream)
This is not what it seems
This is ours for the taking
You are the lady for me

And we've seen it all before
Sweat falls down to the floor
Tonight, I'm all yours
Let's live like it's 1984

Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I wanna ride it to the stars
I wanna do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always be yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984

Pretty woman in a white dress (oh-oh)
Feel like I'm drowning, need a life vest (oh-oh)
Overdramatic, overreactive, nah, nah
You make me manic, you make me panic
And I said, "Big hair, don't care"
Dance like nobody else here, hell yeah

You're mine tonight
Heaven in those eyes
We won't die
Let the DJ guide the night

And we've seen it all before
Sweat falls down to the floor
Tonight I'm all yours
Let's live like it's 1984

Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I wanna ride it to the stars
I wanna do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always be yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984
Like it's 1984
Like it's 1984

Fire burning in my soul (oh-oh)
I don't want to be alone tonight (oh-oh)
Meet me in the sky
I wanna take you home
Or anywhere you want to go tonight
We're running out of time
1984

Baby, give me the green light
Don't you break my heart
Your love is a freeway
I wanna ride it to the stars
I wanna do this forever
You dancing in my arms
Always be yours
Just me and you on the floor
Like it's 1984
Like it's 1984
Like it's 1984
