Well done @Willow2017. I know the song but wouldn’t have remembered Patsy Gallant in a million years.

Cause love can be such a challenge
A game where there can be two winners
Unlike any sport

I see the people working
And see it working for them
And so I want to join in
But then I find it hurts me

Is anything outstanding?

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 20:13

Probably!

One from the early 90s

You know that I’ve been drunk a thousand times
And these should be the best years of my life

Fleamaker123 · 18/07/2020 20:20

Correct, Shalimar Smile

You can try hard
Don’t mean a thing
Take it easy
Then your jive will swing

(Early 80s)

Late 80s/early 90s

So you want to be free
To live your life the way you wanna be

Honeyroar Ella Fitzgerald/Bananarama, Ain't what you do ( Its the way that you do it)
...and that's what gets results! 😁

Destinysdaughter · 18/07/2020 20:46

No one's got mine yet, and I gave a big clue!

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 21:02

I can see it in your eyes
You need a friend tonight
Cos someone broke your heart in two

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 21:04

Hmm don’t think I recognise that @destiny

Fleamaker123 · 18/07/2020 21:25

Is that Lionel Ritchie, Hello.. maybe not!

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 21:27

No sorry.

TwigTheWonderKid · 18/07/2020 21:36

I have no idea what yours is @Destinysdaughter

Try this - early 80s
Deep in the castle and back from the wars
Back with my baby and the fire burned tall
