@Rogue1001

Yes to sexual healing. I don't think it's a misheard lyric.

I'll add more lyrics to my outstanding ones. You'll kick yourselves for one of them

lol! It's operate, not ovulate!!!
CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/12/2021 10:52

Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought just stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do

So I cry and I pray and I beg

The next lines are

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Hold me hold me say that you need me
I just want to spend my life with you.

Female singer but think it's a band, bit "kooky"

No, shiny
Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 11:46

All correctly guessed. Finally.

No points.

Dex, are you SURE it's operate???? I'm off to google....

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 11:48

You're right, dexter.

In my defence, I think ovulate makes much more sense!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 05/12/2021 13:09

@Rogue1001

You're right, dexter.

In my defence, I think ovulate makes much more sense!

I actually prefer your version! Grin
CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/12/2021 16:13

This one still outstanding

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
90s

UK band. Big at the time. All male I think, but not "boy band".

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/12/2021 16:16

No one got this

We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
70s

Blame it on the Boogie, the Jackson 5

shinynewapple21 · 05/12/2021 16:36

Didn't see that Jackson 5 one Coffee - I can only see lyrics 1 to 5, not a number 7

Rogue1001 · 05/12/2021 16:44

I missed no 7. I'd def have got it if I'd looked properly!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/12/2021 16:45

Well done Rogue 👍😊

I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothing left to talk about
Unless it's horizontally

A million lights are dancing and there you are,
a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me,
eternally

Took her bowling in the Arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'till ten o'clock

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
