First one to start off.

So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance

1980s

You look good in green, coffee

I don't think this got guessed from the last thread (apologies if it has)

In the stars I see your eyes
They come to me all the time
? Back to me now
In they come slow down

Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope

80s, and so is the previous one

I’ve turned a girl into a heaving senseless wreck
Made the captain of a ship dance off his deck
I’ve made an old man jump to his feet

We were willing
To take a chance
