The Go Gos - Vacation + Lyrics

Lyrics:

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
That you won't be in

When you looked at me
I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along
That time would tell

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

[Instrumental Interlude]

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

I remember hearing this song for the first time on a Rugrats episode where they go to Las Vegas. Now hearing it on Spider-Man Far From Home got me remembering it.

[michaelmclaren]

I didn't listen to this song very much in the 80's, but just listening to it now sure brings back irreplaceable memories

[supreme_briann]

So dope to see people came back to this song after Far From Home

[matthewsteven]

Can't hear this song without thinking about running from a murderer, eating a rum ham, and doing x on the beach. Thank you always sunny!!

[RosettisRevenge]

Brings back memories of my family going on vacation to the Jersey Shore.

[blofeld]

VACATION
ALL I EVER WANTED

VACATION
HAD TO GET AWAY

VACATION
MEANT TO BE SPENT ALONE

[scottleipski]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE GOGOs! Simply brillant!

[danielandres]

Love how MCU Spidey has had the most fun and poppy credits

[Darkadhder]

I play this song every year when I go on vacation. It's the first song I play in the rental car I get right after I have it packed up and heading to the destination where I'm vacationing.

[tailhookmd]

Thank you Kathy Valentine for writing one of the greatest songs of the 80s!!

[michaelbanks]

Remember having this on an old 8-track, along with "Jack and Dianne" and some others. Listening to them on a road trip to Asheville, N.C. during the early 80's was nice. Now when I hear this song or any other on that tape, it seems to keep on taking me back. Love that about music - it does what nothing else

[davidhuff]

An 80's classic tune that I still listen to today, especially while going on vacation lol. It's an addicting song that stays in your head.

[j.p.devottee]

This is for suburban kids that grew up in the 70'and 80's we had little pre teen relationships. Vacation! Oh no! I have to leave him/her for a week, possibly 2....at that age, it merits this song...(which I really like :))

[jacobramirez]

The GoGos and A Flock Of Seagulls are pretty much my top 2 favorite 80s music bands.

This song reminds me of growing up in the 1980's. Swatch watches, jelly bracelets, stirrup pants and huge miss it all! even the cheesy stuff:)

[rossco]

Rum ham, charlie and the waitress finding jewels drinking the ocean, dee and dennis "hit" the liquor store doin angel dust, frank and mac party it up with the guidos. Best episode ever.

[AnthonyWrightFilms]

Mr. Stark...this song makes me feel good

[nickyfleyshman]

Every time I listen to this song I can't help but laugh because I just picture Mac and frank fist pumping, dee and Dennis freaking out, and the waitress and Charlie on the beach 😂😂

[DexBolts]

Everyone: Spider-Man: Far From Home
Me, an intellectual: RUM

[eddysification]

RUM HAM!
All I ever wanted
RUM HAM!
Had to get away
RUM HAM!
Meant to be spent alone
