80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 11

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Here we go you lovely lot, Thread 11.

Post some lyrics of a song 70s, 80s, 90s (boundaries may be slightly pushed either way). State the decade & we will try to guess Artist(s) and song.

You tell me I'm a real man
And try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it
Then we watch TV
Until we fall asleep
Not every exciting

I refuse to believe no one else knows this song!

The can’t post the chorus that’s come after those lyrics because it totally gives it away but here’s an earlier verse:

Always when we fight
I try to make you laugh
Til everything's forgotten
I know you hate that

I need to be the one that's by your side
Your the beat in my heart
My love for you is something I can't hide
1980s

How did I steal it?

I feel a flounce coming on...

Sorry Babooshka not a clue.

The can’t post the chorus that’s come after those lyrics because it totally gives it away but here’s an earlier verse:

Blimey - what a garbled line! Two out of ten for effort. Here it is again with all the words I should have used!

I can’t post the chorus that comes after those lyrics because it totally gives it away but here’s an earlier verse:

Frankie Goes To Hollywood of course... I think you're right FlouncerInDenial, I can't remember any of theirs being posted, how did that happen they were iconic 🤔 I thought we must've covered everything by now!

Here’s another couple of lines from mine. It’s been guessed on previous threads.

I keep crying (I keep crying)
I keep trying for you.
There’s nothing like
You and I baby.
(80s)

Hello!
Is that Sade No ordinary love @Honeyroar ?

Forget your sorrow let it all fade away
Forget tomorrow let's start livin' for today
Let me take you through a night of ecstasy
I like to hear the sound of a mystic melody

82

Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face

90's

I don't want your books on Marilyn or Bobby D
I don't want your records, your pictures
Or anything

Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me

Both 80s

With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me

@Fleamaker123 - that's Just an Illusion by Imagination.

Ah. So assume bow wow wow was wrong. Wasn't sure.

I need to be the one that's by your side
You're the beat in my heart
My love for you is something I can't hide
1980s

Yes for Imagination, but not that song

I think the Imagination one is Music and Light.
