Human League - Don’t You Want Me
This song is a standard selection for any reputable 80s party. It has everything you can ask of a quality 80s song - synthesizers, angst and catchy lyrics.
I was watching Center Stage for the first time a few nights ago and…I don’t know why but this song reminds me of the movie so much. Was it playing in the background of some scene? Or did I just really think it fit in?
Who knows? I like this song though so I decided to post it today! There’s also a really fun mash up floating around out there called Don’t You Want My Bad Romance featuring the Lady Gaga hit. Check it out here. Just goes to show you the 80s will NEVER go away!
Enjoy!

Human League - Don’t You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
(Chorus:)
Don’t, don’t you want me?
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t, don’t you want me?
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I lived my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do
(Chorus)
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh
Don’t you want me baby? Don’t you want me oh
(Repeat four times and fade)
