I know you're feeling oh so insecure
Because the world is crazy as of lately
But baby you should know you're not alone
I feel the exact way you feel
But can I offer up a suggestion
Let's take it back to where it all begin
Let's start all overall we need a clean slate
Before all the scars
Before all the loss
Before all the fears
Before all the tears
Before all the darkness that covered my life
Before the trauma
We gonna take it back to 1988
Moonwalking on my heart
Lovesexy from the start
We gonna party like it's 1988
When I think of you I get so emotional
So I'm gonna love you like it's 1988
That's all I really want
I just wanna, I just wanna
Our parents just don't understand
But baby can you stand the rain
Got me thinking if this isn't love
Then tell me why do I feel this way
Cus baby don't you know you got
The right stuff to take me into heaven baby
And I'm giving you the best that I got
Cus baby it's my prerogative
Just so you know that all I want is you
Let's quiet the noise
Let's let our voices ring
Because we're all we had in the beginning
And we're all we'll have in the end
We gonna take it back to 1988
Every little step I take
Is to show I love the way
You love me like it's 1988
Let's go to Paisley Park and dance in the purple rain
We gonna party like it's 1988
That's all I really want
I just wanna, I just wanna
We gonna break every rule just like Tina did
We gonna rock just like it's 1988
