Additional lyrics for my first one...

And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

No. But sort of close. Some of the songs just have the theme in the song somewhere, rather than the title or artist. Thought I'd try being esoteric for once.

Are there any left?
A couple.. e.g.

She said, "It sound like a real man to me (You're kinda cute)
You're kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?"
(Do you wanna, do you wanna?)
Bath?
Oh, I said, "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on
80s
