I think it is foreigner, shiny

@Fleamaker123

Victorious, you've got the right song, you're so close!
I'm giving myself the point, flea. Although I am prepared to share it with shiny
Fleamaker123 · 31/07/2020 20:08

Victorious gets the point

But it's not Foreigner

My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Came in from the city walked into the door

Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you

I posted this yesterday

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know
She keeps changing the rules
And leaves you no place to go

It's 1980s, clue to the title - there is a link with the other songs I posted which were 'blue hat for a blue day' and 'wherever I lay my hat '

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 21:29

@Honeyroar - correct!
@shinynewapple2020 - well I can guess the theme! Grin

shinynewapple2020 · 31/07/2020 21:32

Tonight
We'll leave the world behind
Tonight
From now the place is right
So put your hand in mine
And

Late 70's

Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
