The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

80's

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me

Yes Coffee 👏

Correct Carnage- I forgot I’d posted that. I nearly had to guess myself! I must be having a dementia day (I have a lot!)

Well I’ve got to guess the honey one, haven’t I? It’s My Girl by the Temptations.

Sometimes I feel like wobbling heights is some kind of naughty step!

Fleamaker123 · 26/01/2021 19:21

Ah well done Honey, yes the Temptations 😘

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/01/2021 18:28

Evening ladies

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
And dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
2000

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

Evening!

Coffee, I want to say walk on by, Dionne Warwick for your first one, but I know that's wrong!

Fleamaker123 · 27/01/2021 18:53

I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you

70's

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/01/2021 19:08

@Fleamaker123 sorry, not Dionne Warwick. The tune is actually quite upbeat, despite the lyrics!

NeedToKnow101 · 27/01/2021 19:46

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
