Sheena Easton-Strut









He said, "Baby, what's wrong with you?
Why don't you use your imagination
Nations go to war over women like you,
It's just a form of appreciation
Come on over here, lay your clothes on the chair
Now let the lace fall across your shoulder
Standing in the half light, you're almost like her
So take it slow like your daddy told you"
Strut pout, put it out, that's what you want from women
Come on baby, what'cha taking me for
Strut pout, cut it out, all taking and no giving
Watch me baby while I walk out the door
I said, "Honey, I don't like this game,
You make me feel like a girl for hire
All this fascination with leather
And lace is just the smoke from another fire"
He said, "Honey, don't stop a speeding train
Before it reaches its destination
Lie down here beside me, oh, have some fun too
Don't turn away from your true vocation"
Strut pout, put it out, that's what you want from women
Come on baby, what'cha taking me for
Strut pout, cut it out, all taking and no giving
Watch me baby while I walk out the door
I won't be your baby doll, be your baby doll
I won't be your baby doll, be your baby doll

Rick Astley-Together Forever








If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say so
You know you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

Michael Morales-Who Do You Give Your Love To









Who do you give your love to?
Where do you drown the fire?
It hasn't been like it used to
Who do you give your love to?

The wind blows, are we not friends?
There is no reason to let it end
Until you set me down
You say you don't love me anymore.
I always thought that we could work it out
To keep on loving, I had no doubt
But it's all over town that you went around
I think it's happening girl.

Who do you give your love to?
Where do you drown the fire?
It hasn't been like it used to
Where do you cool your desire?
Who do you give your heart to?
Who is it that you say, yeah?
Who do you give your love to?
And why can't it be me?

I really think I should let it go
I am always the last to know
And I don't really care
Except it's been so long.
I'd like to think it was you and me
We fit together so easily
But now I can't get through to the lover in you
You got me guessing again
I'm wondering...

Who do you give your love to?
Where do you drown the fire?
It hasn't been like it used to
Where do you cool your desire?
Who do you give your heart to?
Who is it that you say, yeah?
Who do you give your love to?
And why can't it be me?

Why can't it be me?
Why can't it be me?

Who do you give your love to?
Where do you drown the fire?
It hasn't been like it used to
Where do you cool your desire?
Who do you give your heart to?
Who is it that you say, yeah?
Who do you give your love to?
And why can't it be me?

Who do you give your love to?
Where do you drown the fire?
It hasn't been like it used to
Who do you give your love to?

Good to hear :].
Before Michael started his one thing he was the singer of Hanoi Rocks.
Oh and I would recommend his Song "Man with no eyes".

Depeche Mode-I Just Can't Get Enough










When I'm with you, baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough

We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

It's getting hotter, it's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

Rick Astley-It Would Take A Strong Strong Man










My heart starts breaking
When I think of making up
Plans to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
I'm gonna let you know
But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
My heart's been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You'll grow to love me more
But whenever we're together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go
I tried to resist you
When you're gone, all i ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go
But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can't you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me
My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know
It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
I'll never let you go
(To ever let you go)
(To ever let you go)
(To ever let you go)
(To ever let you go)

[DyingMiND]

Too many awesome 80s hits to count from all genres. Mine are freestyle, pop, dance, rock, etc. If I think sad... Careless Whispers. If I think pop rock.. Bon Jovi. Just way too many. I think some of the best came from the British invasion though. Great one hit wonders.

Tanya Tucker-It's Only Over For You









Somehow I knew I'd see you tonight
Here in our old rendezvous
I'm at the mercy of old memories
You've got your somebody new

You may wonder why I keep coming by
With this heart so broken in two
Any fool can see with one look at me
That it's only over for you

It's only over for you
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
You can go on believing we're through
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you

As I watch you falling in love
You can't see me falling apart
And even though you hurt me I know
I still love you with all of my heart

But I won't hide my face in a stranger's embrace
When we dance into each other's view
No, don't be surprised at these tears in my eyes
'Cause it's only over for you

It's only over for you
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
You can go on believing we're through
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you
Oh, it's only over, it's only over for you

[CowsAreCool]

The most beautiful song ever written.



Aaaaaand this will get me in trouble lol, but its my favorite GnR song. Beautiful acoustic guitar work. But I'll warn the lyrics are needlessly offensive because Axl Rose felt like edgy apparently.

REO Speedwagon-Keep On Loving You









You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missin'
You should have known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen

You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you laid still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin'

And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us, baby, way before them
And we're still together

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Baby, I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep (I don't wanna sleep)
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Gloria Estefan-Words Get In The Way









I realize you're seeing someone new
I don't believe she knows you like I do
Your temperamental moody side
The one you always try to hide from me

But I know when you have something on your mind
You've been trying to tell me for the longest time
And before you break my heart in two
There's something I've been trying to say to you

But the words get in the way
There's so much I want to say
But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes
We might fall in love again

I won't even start to cry
And before we say goodbye
I tried to say "I love you"
But the words got in the way

Your heart has always been an open door
But baby, I don't even know you anymore
And despite the fact it's hurting me
I know the time has come to set you free

But the words get in the way
There's so much I want to say
But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes
We might fall in love again

I won't even start to cry
And before we say goodbye
I tried to say "I love you"
But the words got in the way

I'm trying to say "I love you"
But the words get in the way

Irene Cara-Flashdance... What A Feeling
RIP









"Flashdance... What A Feeling"

First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling
Being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
Now I'm dancing through my life

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believing (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling
(Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)

Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)
I can have it all (being's believing)
Being's believing (take your passion)
(Make it happen) Make it happen
(What a feeling) What a feeling​

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Growin' up
You don't see the writin' on the wall
Passin' by
Movin' straight ahead you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone
Everything has changed
Play the game
You know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You know in some way
You're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner
And you're tryin' to break free
I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin'
St. Elmo's Fire
Burnin' up
Don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just a few miles down the road
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won't break the man
I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin' in me
Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I'm comin' alive

[]

I can hear the music playin'
I can see the banners fly
Feel like you're back again
And hope ridin' high
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin'
St. Elmo's Fire
I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin'
Burnin' in me
I can feel it burnin'
Oh, burnin' inside of me
