Get in to my car
(Who me?)
Yes, you
Get in to my car
Oh, hey

Who's that lady coming down the road?
Who's that lady?
Who's that woman walking through my door?
What's the score?
I'll be the sun shining on you
Hey, Cinderella, step in your shoe

I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

Get outta my dreams

Lady driver, let me take the wheel
Smooth operator
Touch my bumper (bumper)
Hey, and let's make a deal

Coming after you
Just like a hero outta the blue

Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle, I'm your man

I miss that 80’s spirit. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but you can feel it in the music, television, and film of the era.

@derryk1

It was optimistic energized with electric dreams and lots of fun. People were a lot less uptight. Not to say there were no problems, we had many but for the most part. I believe people were just better at handling things at that time period.

@susanstacy2493

I miss it too and you're right about the 80's spirit. It was a different time, but a great time! I hated the 70's (I graduated high school in 1974), but I loved the 80's. I think it was the best decade of my life!

@SMac-bq8sk

@@susanstacy2493: Agree 100%. I too hated the 70s, but loved the 80s. However, compared to the times we live in now, I look back upon both decades with fond memories. Both were more hopeful times. Cheers!

@hesssabine2704

If this song doesn't bring a huge grin to your face, you have no soul. That gigantic dominant chord in the vocals during the prechorus, fantastic.

@anissa9304

Yes 😩❤️❤️

@AnonyMoose2012

It’s that awesomely 80’s feel you can’t describe!

@STMARTIN009

As a kid of the 80s I come back to listen.
