Know it sounds funny

She walked in through the out door.

And Easy by The Commodores, although I love the Faith No More version too.

Fleamaker Tis so. I always wanted to be that kind of woman, but it took too many years. Smile

You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burning for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 11/07/2020 21:49

I think that’s Abracadabra @CoffeeBeansGalore. Can’t remember who sang it though.

Fleamaker123 · 11/07/2020 21:50

@CrepuscularCritter I know the feeling Smile
@CoffeeBeansGalore Steve Miller Band, Abracadabra

CrepuscularCritter · 11/07/2020 21:50

Ah...Abracadabra is the Steve Miller Band

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 11/07/2020 21:51

DH has just told me it was the Steve Miller band.

CrepuscularCritter · 11/07/2020 21:53

And simulcast in three parts I reckon... Wink

ThatLibraryMiss · 11/07/2020 21:57

Fleamaker123, that's Emotion by the BeeGees.

Fleamaker123 · 11/07/2020 21:57

Yes @CrepuscularCritter, Emotion
I think a few artists must've covered it

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/07/2020 22:00

Well done all!

@CrepuscularCritter yes to Rebel Yell

I’m always walking in through out doors, but mainly in an accidental and not so cool way!🤣

Honeyroar · 11/07/2020 22:13

I felt someone get in behind me but I never caught their eye
But I thought I heard a woman’s voice whispering goidbye

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
