I Love Lyrics

That's "Sweet Potato Pie" by James Taylor... Here's a new one ~

It's like tryin' to get whiskey (oooooh!) from a bottle of wine

 Honky Cat - Elton John

 Now I'm a man of many wishes

 I hope my premonition misses

How I really feel

 My eyes won't let me hide

 Cos they always start to cry...

badger

IDK that one  :-)

Kay_G

Me either, but here''s one I think someone will get:

Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and

sarah1968uk

 Mine was "Lately" by Stevie Wonder - a lovely, but sad, song!

 Kay, your's is familiar, but I just can't get it!

Kay_G

Okay a couple of hints, it was written by Darell Hall and was on their album in 1980 but not released as a single.  Was a big hit in 1985 by Paul Young.

Every time you go away...you take a piece of me with you!  Hall and Oates

But all my words come back to me

In shades of mediocrity 

Like loneliness and harmony

I need someone to comfort me

Homeword bound. Simon And garfunKel

Then I held you close to me

And kissed you

And my heart

Began to melt

badger

Dizzy - Tommy Roe (knew the song but had to look up the artist)

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear

Kay_G

I Heard it Through the Grapevine by the incomparable Marvin Gaye   LOVE THAT ONE!

Outside I'm masquerading

Inside my hope is  fading

Just a clown oh yeah since you put me down

badger

Tracks of my Tears - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

Ever since the world began it's been that way
For men and women were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? oh yeah

Suzanne3131

Tell Her....Kenny Loggins

If you believe in forever

Then life is just a one night stand 

badger

Rock and Roll Heaven - Righteous Bros.

Here come the dancers, one by one.
Your momma's callin' but you're having fun.
You find your dancin' on the number 9 cloud.
Put your hands together now, and sing it out loud.

Rock & Roll Fantasy ~ Bad Company  (loved that whole album!)

You drive us wild

We'll drive you crazy! 

badger

Rock & Roll All Night - Kiss

Couldn`t stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night at the old town hall
There was a group called The Jokers they were laying it down
Don`tcha know I`m never gonna lose that funky sound

AimeeMac

Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer

You got the nicest North America, this sailor ever saw

I'd like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your Panama.

But your Tierra Del Fuegos is nearly always froze

Good luck with this one!

badger

LOL - it's Popsicle Toes by Michael Franks

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance.

Kay_G

Its still Rock and Roll to Me Billy Joel   Billy Joel is probably one I'm pretty good at.

Call me a relic call me what you will

Say I'm old fashioned say I'm over the hill

badger

still love that Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger

So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake 'em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity

Kay_G

Rock n Roll Never Forgets Bob Segar 

Off the rock n roll theme, but

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

badger

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - Hollies

Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said "My, My"
Flash is fast flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due

sarah1968uk

 Rapture - Blondie

 All those sucker DJs who think they're fly,

 There's gotta be a reason, and I know the reason why,

 Try an' put on those airs an' act real cool,

 But you gotta realise that you're acting like fools,

 If there's music we can use it, we need to dance

 We don't have no time for psychological romance....... 

sarah1968uk

 Hint - red cod-piece!

Kay_G

I don't think I know this one.

badger

I'm stumped, too.

sarah1968uk

 It's "Word Up" by Cameo!  He wears the red plastic cod-piece/thong in the video! How about this -

 I don't bother chasing mice around

 I strut down the alley looking for a fight

 Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night

 Singing the blues while the lady cats cry....

Stray Cat Strut....by Stray Cats

I said "Do you speak my language"

He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich

"Land Down Under" by Men at Work

Nibblin' on bacon
Chewin' on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
Honey, would you please be my Mrs.

Oh I know this one!  Muskrat Love by the Captain and Tenille

GOT RHYTHM I CAN'T MISS A BEAT
GOT NEW SKANK IT'S SO REET
GOT SOMETHING I'M WINKING AT YOU
GONNA MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU NOTICE
