I'm not a prude, I just want some respect

So close the door if you want me to respond
Cause privacy is my middle name
My last name is control
No, my first name ain't baby

Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.

I’m a newcomer to this game, so I don’t know if we’re allowed to just go for the ones we know, but:

  1. ‘Easy Lover’ by Phillip Bailey and Phil Collins.
  2. Invisible Touch’ by Genesis.

I’m less sure, but I think 4 might be ‘All Night Long’ by Lionel Richie?
