Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone I think was Bill Withers

I also used to have a cassette with the Jackson 5 singing it .

shinynewapple2020 · 11/11/2020 10:07

And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way
It gets harder each day

Early 80s

Song above always reminds me of this one , late 70s

I never wanted anything in my life
Not until I met you
I thought you'd see me through
All the bad days that I've had before I met you

Bluesheep8 · 11/11/2020 10:22

That's All out of love by Air Supply

Bluesheep8 · 11/11/2020 10:22

Is the second one Abba?

That's Sad Cafe, every day hurts just a little bit more (not sure of title)
Fleamaker123 · 11/11/2020 10:27

Some more 70's, similar

When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I wanna hear

Fleamaker123 · 11/11/2020 10:29

Yeah, I really only met her 'bout a week ago, but
It doesn't really matter to my heart, I know
70's

Honeyroar · 11/11/2020 10:32

Yes @shinynewapple2020 it was Bedsitter.

Gutted I missed Ain’t no sunshine while I was I mucking out!

That's Never let her slip away by Andrew Gold

Honeyroar · 11/11/2020 10:34

Flea that rings a bell. Is it something like Never let her slip away? A male singer, quite a repetitive melody?

Honeyroar · 11/11/2020 10:35

Sheep pipped me!

Bluesheep8 · 11/11/2020 10:44

Don't say what you mean you might spoil your face
If you walk in a crowd you won't leave any trace

shinynewapple2020 · 11/11/2020 10:46

Correct to Air Supply and Sad Cafe @Fleamaker123 and @Bluesheep8

I know yours too Fleamaker, So annoying when you can sing the lyrics given and not get any further !

Fleamaker123 · 11/11/2020 10:57

FlouncerInDenial · 11/11/2020 10:58

Eek. Sorry. Loads more messages than I realized.

Serves me right for skiving at work....

Don't say what you mean you might spoil your face If you walk in a crowd you won't leave any trace
