Going back in time
To another world
Gonna find that place
Gonna find that girl

Don't want a hippie chick
Or a disco queen
Just want the girl
From a na-nineteen eighty-three

I want a new wave girl
I want a new wave girl
Oh oh, want a new wave girl

Don't know what I'm gonna do
Without that girl from eighty-two

Oh oh, want a new wave girl
Clove cigarettes
Heaven 17
Cool places tonight
O.M.D

Now I don't want my MTV
'Cause the real world
I don't want to see
I want a new wave girl
I want a new wave girl
Oh oh, want a new wave girl

I can't go on without her
God, where's my Cyndi Lauper?

Oh oh, want a new wave girl, new wave girl...
