You were not the first my love
Don't kid yourself
You sure won't be the last
You have just yourself to blame

My pain your thrill

I wanna love you but I'd better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you, but....

Oh I loved that song
midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 18:34

A theme to be had

2010's
Yeah it's pretty clear I ain't no size 2
But I can shake it shake it like I'm supposed to do

80s
Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by

70s
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain
We can be like they are

80s
And I feel like William tell
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet

60s
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
Abd one thing I know is true

80s
And I can't win and it ain't right
You tell me all you've done snd seen

Discovered with a little help , specially for rogue 70s
Well I've seen you hanging round snd round
On the streets with something on your mind

The shadow of a lover goes dancing by

First one: Meghan Trainor - All about the Bass

Third : Blue Oyster Cult - Don’t feat the reaper (I ADORE this song)

Fourth: on the tip of my tongue, but not quite there yet

The rest of them: not a scooby
