80's Ladies Lyrics - Simply - K.t. Oslin

We were three little girls from school 

One was pretty, one was smart and one was a borderline fool 

But she's still good lookin', that woman hadn't slipped a bit 

The smart one used her head, she made her fortune 

And me I cross the border every chance I get 

We were the girls of the 50's 

Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's 

And more than our names got changed 

As the 70's slipped on by, now we're 80's ladies 

There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried 

We've been educated, we got liberated 

And has complicating matters with men 

Oh we've said, "I do" and we've signed, "I don't" 

And we've sworn we'd never do that again 

Oh we burned our bras and we burned our dinners 

And we burned our candles at both ends 

And we've had some children 

Who look just like the way we did back then 

Oh but we're all grown up now, all grown up 

None of us can tell you quite how 

We were the girls of the 50's 

A stoned rock and rollers in the 60's 

Honey more than our names got changed 

As the 70's slipped on by, now we're 80's ladies 

There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried 

A my name is Alice 

I'm gonna marry Artie 

We're gonna sell apples 

And live in Arkansas 

B my name is Betty 

I'm gonna marry Bobby 

We're gonna sell beans 

And live in Brazil 

C my name is Connie 

I'm gonna marry Charlie 

We're gonna sell cars 

And live in California
