Thank you Honey, missed it while replying.

No 7 & 9 I think still outstanding?

Using A, B and C to avoid confusion for people still guessing Coffee’s entries:

A) ‘ You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat’.

B) ‘You thought I’d break - well you were wrong
That I won’t see what’s going on - but I knew
Here I am, I’m alive
And you’ll see I’ll survive without you’.

C) You know I can’t wait to know your passion
It’s not too late - so take some action
Can you say that when you’re through I’ll know what love is all about?
Well baby, I’ve been patient - now I’m ready to find out’.

Clue - all woman of the 80s.

I love the lyrics for B

Honeyroar · 11/06/2021 21:21

Is B Madonna?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/06/2021 21:23

7. Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes When I'm standing beside you There's a fever burning deep inside 80s
That one is Billy Ocean - Sad songs

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

2 - Elkee Brooks - No More the Fool
Do you mean B not 2? I’m completely baffled!🤣
StillCoughingandLaughing · 11/06/2021 21:28

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

2 - Elkee Brooks - No More the Fool
Correct! (and yes, B Grin)
AJUmpedUpPantryBoy · 11/06/2021 21:28

I did mean B
Also meant Elkie

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/06/2021 21:28

Correct!
StillCoughingandLaughing · 11/06/2021 21:29

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@StillCoughingandLaughing Any chance of a few more lyrics? Sorry![/quote]
For C - ‘You can tell me that you’re serious, but I’ve got to know for sure; you say how much you want me, but I’ve heard it all before’.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/06/2021 21:29

Honey as I used numerical, Stillcoughing used letters to avoid confusion 😁

NeedToKnow101 · 11/06/2021 21:32

Haven't guessed any so I'll post some instead...

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'

70s (clue: story of my thread life)

I know, but Pantry had put the answer to B as no 2, and I thought it was more like the answer to B (that I’d guessed wrong!)
CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/06/2021 21:35

Wild guess but Is C Kim Wilde?

OP posts:
NeedToKnow101 · 11/06/2021 21:36

Hello, open the door
Guess who's gonna ring the chimes

You know I've change you right
