Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again

I draw your picture in the sand.
So many little things remind me
I left you behind me it's hard to understand.
1970s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/07/2020 21:13

Yes @ProseccoBubbleFantasies and @CrepuscularCritter, Lucky Number, Lena Lovich.

Your nasty habits ain't confined to bed (ha ha ha ha ha)
The grocer told me what you do with bread (what do you do?)
Why don't you take up with the bakers wife instead of me?

Confused

Mid ‘70s

Oh ffs!😤

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/07/2020 21:45

Very quick @Willow2017 (I suppose once heard that lyric is never forgotten!)

Willow2017 · 06/07/2020 21:49

Yep it's a pretty unique song.😄

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/07/2020 21:52

I didn’t know until a few minutes ago it was written by Bette Midler (fun fact - that you probably already knew 😄)

Another from the 70s

And if that road gets weary, oh I love you
Waiting here if you need me

Oh didn't know that. Learn something new every day.

Hold me close.
The gorgeous David Essex.

@Willow2017 - oh, wasn’t he lovely back then?

LoadsaBlusher · 06/07/2020 22:00

I Guess I should have known
By the way you parked your car side ways
That it wouldn’t last

Honeyroar · 06/07/2020 22:01

Little Red Corvette by Prince?

LoadsaBlusher · 06/07/2020 22:06

Yes honeyroar love Prince so much .

My kids quite like this song too but obvs far too young to get all the innuendos 😆

Fleamaker123 · 07/07/2020 09:25

Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

1982

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 07/07/2020 09:25

Morning everyone. Here’s one from each decade:

1970s:
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned

1980s:
I`m so glad we reached an understanding
Now I know
My heart is safe with you

1990s:
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
