Look what you have gone and done
You fool
the best was yet to come
What a childish game to play
You had it all
And threw it all away

1980s

shinynewapple2020 · 27/11/2020 16:54

And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused

I feed you
I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight

Yes to George Michael @NeedToKnow101 it was one of his earlier solo songs when Wham were still together

And yes to the song you'll never know @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

@NeedToKnow101

On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
Under the boardwalk The Drifters And possibly someone else
CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 27/11/2020 17:20

Yes. Bruce Willis did a version in the 80s.

I start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

1990s

@NeedToKnow101 that’s Once in a lifetime by talking heads (into the blue again).

Honeyroar · 27/11/2020 19:28

@shinynewapple2020 yours is the wobbly headed David Grey’s This year’s love (sang it as I stepped out the door on my first date with my husband- and it did last!)

shinynewapple2020 · 27/11/2020 19:30

That's a nice story @Honeyroar Smile
