Heart Throb of the 80s – a song about the ladies

Heart throb of the 80s Yeah, I played music for a living back in the 80’s. A bit before that, and a long time after that, too. But those 80’s were a ton of fun. Straight ahead beats. Bright colors and pastels. Pushing up the sleeves on sports jackets. Big hair…on both guys and girls. And back then, the term “heart throb” was still being used a lot. Do an image search for heart throb of the 80s, and you’ll find just about all guys. But I wrote a song about the ladies. Because I’m a red-blooded male, I preferred the female heart throbs. But something that was so true then (and still is) was how many of those female heart throbs didn’t use their attractive powers in a good way. So I decided to write a song about it. I’m sharing those lyrics here. And Rhyme and Reason Podcastsubscribers will get the song delivered to their inboxes and/or preferred podcast players. Heart Throb She’s got her new shoes on and a lot of money She’s got that million dollar smile and those killer eyes And she’s gonna call all her friends Tonight they’re gonna party They’re gonna find them some men And cut ’em down to size She’s a little heart throb Just a little heart throb She wanna break the boys’ hearts Then toss them all aside She’s a little heart throb. She love to make your heart throb And her woman’s intuition leaves them nowhere to hide She’s got a hot pink skirt and a yellow t-shirt She’s got the lightning in her legs And the lasers in her eyes She’s gonna call all her friends Tonight they’re going dancing And when they find them some men They’re gonna cut ’em down to size chorus But some night she’s gonna find a man Who’s gonna take her by the hand And fill her full of sparks she can’t explain And when she finally does I know She’ll have to leave her friends and go To free herself from this life in the fast lane © 1985 Tony Funderburk Stay tuned, My books are also on Amazon.com or Apple Books Grab some Merch Or how about some music for kids [mc4wp_form id=”14357″] Don’t forget your RhymeTender on the way out.
