I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me crying like I thought I would never be
Love is believin', but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around?
80s

Dave is such a character..

80s
As time goes by I never see you as much as I did
When you lived around the corner
Too many times you made the plunder by tellin' me
You'll be with me through rain and thunder

He’s got some gremlin in him too, I think. I reckon my little dog has too.

Correct Honey, it's by the FunkMasters but I didn't know who the group was either.

Omg I think I'm having an allergic reaction to the Gorgonzola piccante... it's made my scalp itch and fizz all over - must be amonia??!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
