I walked the ward for you, babe
A thousand miles for you
Now who dried my tears of pain, babe?
A million times for you, for you

All correct songs so far.
We don't have to take our clothes off - the version I knew was Terence Trent Derby (now something else). Did Jermaine Stewart do it as well?

@CoffeeBeansGalore yes it was Jermaine someone that I recall - didn't know his surname . I can't imagine TTD doing it - sign your name I always thought a sexy sort of song !

Someone I know is staring at me
And when I look into her eyes
I see a girl that I used to be

Something stirred within me
You were standing sultry in the rain
If I could've held you

Not a word from your lips
You just took for granted that I want to skinny dip
A quick hit, that's your game
But I'm not a piece of meat, stimulate my brain,

Always pulled me from my seat.

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same

Flaming locks of auburn hair
Ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring

She's precocious, and she knows just what it takes
