Some more of mine:

Promises made in the heat of the night
Creeping home before it got too light
I wasted all that precious time
And blamed it on the wine

1970s, big hit

He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream?
