[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

Oh I know I should come clean
But I prefer to deceive
Everyday I walk alone
And pray that god won't see me

80s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Footsteps womak v womak

@CoffeeBeansGalore - is that Footsteps, or Teardrops? Can't remember who sang it.

Oh yes I've just 'remembered;' it's by Womack and Womack.

Once I was your sweetheart, now I'm just a friend
Once you really loved me, now I just pretend

Teardrops. Not footsteps. Lol. I was wrong.

All 80s

1. When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
   I can hear you breathing near my ear

2. My heart is beating faster now
   As the traffic's slowing down
   And suddenly I'm all alone with you

3. Between the eyes of love I call your name
   Behind those guarded walls I used to go
   Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
   Takes me back to the place that I know

4. And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
   You still feel safe inside
   And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
   You still feel safe inside

Well done, Tear drops by Womack & Womack

Breathing near my ear one is Phil Collins Groovy Kinda love

If a child lives with crazy he goes out of his mind
I didn't live with nothin' that's worth talkin' about
But I didn't live with nothin' no I never went without

@NeedToKnow101

Once I was your sweetheart, now I'm just a friend
Once you really loved me, now I just pretend

Can I have another line please?

@CoffeeBeansGalore - of course!

He looked at me and then I blushed
'Cause I remembered I loved you so much
Way back then we were friends
Going together but then you left me

I recall how the darkness doubled

I recall lightning struck itself

Need to know Is that Frankie - Sister Sledge?

Oh after all that wait it was Frankie!! Sister Sledge!
