"I Need Love" by L.L. Cool J - June 30th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove
for the first time in my life, I see I need love
There I was giggling about the games
that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn
as I said to myself look what you've done to her
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
Playing make believe pretending that I'm true
holding in my laugh as I say that I love you
Saying amor kissing you on the ear
whispering I love you and I'll always be here
Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found
a desire for true love floating around
Inside my soul because my soul is cold
one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old
But the other half needs affection and joy
and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy
I need love
I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete
You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle
I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle
I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat
kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet
It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
I could go on forever telling you what I do
But where you at you're neither here or there
I swear I can't find you anywhere
Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug
this love search is really making me bug
And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen
take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean
Fantasies can run but they can't hide
and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside
I need love
I need love

I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you
suck on your neck, caress you and rub you
Grind moan and never be alone
if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone
Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad
I've got money but love's something I've never had
I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all
I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall
I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes
we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed
Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel
It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there
maybe this is an experience that me and you can share
Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget
I need love
I need love

See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer
a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger
Friendship, trust honor respect admiration
this whole experience has been such a revelation
It's taught me love and how to be a real man
to always be considerate and do all I can
Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much
my body tingles all over from the slightest touch
Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
I'll search the whole world for that special girl
when I finally find you watch our love unfurl
I need love
I need love

Girl, listen to me
When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall
fantasies, they go through my mind
And I've come to realize that I need true love
and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen
I'll be waiting
I love you

"Cool Change" by Little River Band - June 29th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters
There's lots of those friendly people
Showin me ways to go
And I never want to lose their inspiration

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life
is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

Well I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Starin' at the full moon
like a lover

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life
is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

Well I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

"I Wonder if I Take You Home" by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam - June 28th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Baby, I know you're wondering
Why I won't go over to your place
'Cause I'm not too sure about how you feel
So I'd rather go at my own pace

And I know and you know that if we get together
Emotions will go to work
And I may do something I might regret the next day
And end the hurt

Oh, I don't know
The way that I feel
I'm so afraid of a one night deal

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

Your love is
(Take me home)

Lately, you've been expressing to me
Just how much you want to make love
I want it just as much as you do
But will you still keep in touch?

You say I'm teasin' but I do have a reason
Don't let your feelings fade
'Cause you will have me and sooner than you know it
If you could only wait

Oh, I don't know
The way that I feel
I'm so afraid of a one night deal

And sometimes
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

And on the real side
If you love me
You would wait

No, no, no, no, no, no, oh

I wonder if I take you home
(Home, home, home, home)
I wonder if I take you home

Your love is
(Home)

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight
Home

(I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder)
Home, home, home, home
(Take me home)

(I wonder, I wonder, I really, really wonder)
(Take me home)
Your love is
No good

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
You're not sure you're the holder of my eyes
I gave our relationship more credit than it deserves
No, it's just that I feel you're rushing me

Okay, okay, since you don't love me and don't wanna be with me
No, it's not that, it's just that I'm afraid of getting hurt, I don't know
I just keep asking myself, should I really take you home?
What do you think?

Take me, take me
Take me home
Take me, take me
Take me home
Take me, take me
Take me home

(Home, home, home, home)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, oh
(Home)

You're down on your knees
Begging me please, home
(Take me home)
Take you home

Will you still love me
If I take you home?
Will you still love me
If I take you home?

"Valotte" by Julian Lennon - June 26th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford,
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

I can see your face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there?
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles so we solve them in the bar
As the days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there.
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come?
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong

"Watching the Wheels" by John Lennon - June 25th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ahhh, people ask me questions, lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go...

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper - June 24th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun

"My Precious Love" by Lenny Kravitz



Lyrics:

You came to me like a dream
How would I know it was a scheme
To get me to you

Your eyes burned like fire
Through my heart
Although we were life times apart

Making mistakes was my game
Your life I tried to rearrange
But now I know a better way

My precious love

Now you're a woman
You've got a child
And those days of being wild
Are gone with the past

But now baby you still ain't got no home
All those endless nights you've had to roam
But I know a better way

My precious love

"I Miss You" by Klymaxx - June 19th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day


Lyrics:

I thought I heard your voice yesterday
When I turned around to say
That I loved you than I realized
And it was just my mind
Playing tricks on me
It seems colder lately at night
And I try to sleep with the lights on
Every time when the phone rings
I pray to God it's you
I just can't believe
That we're through

[Chorus]
I miss you (I miss you)
There's no other way to say it
And I, and I can deny it
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see

I miss you and me
Is it done and over this time?
Have we really changed our minds
But it's other's love
All the feelings that we used to share
I refused to believe
That you don't care

[Chorus]

I've got together my senses to get there
I've been through worse kinds of weather
If it's over now, be strong
Can't believe that you're gone
I got carry over

[Chorus]

That you're part of me now

Stand up, you don't have to be afraid
Get down, love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it
Guilty till I'm proven innocent
Whiplash, heavy metal accident

I love it loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want to compromise

No lies, no more alibies
Turn it up, got me hypnotized
Rock on, won't be tranquilized 'cos

Loud, I wanna hear it loud, don't want to compromise

"Destroyer" by The Kinks - June 18th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

Paranoia, the destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer.

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so weird."
She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna' self-destruct.
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer

Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self-destroyer

(And it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer

Dr. Dr. help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, knawin' ya, tearin' ya into two."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy your friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruptin'

(Yea, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Hey hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)

Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this.)

"Love and Pride' by King - June 17th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.

Start your journey early or maybe later
Get your boots on

Look for rainbows
It's cloudy

Take your hairdryer
Blow them all away.

In you I've found a story I want to keep hearing.
In you I see all colours
Not just black or white.
In you I find a reason and hope for all dreamers

You are my fill
You're my supply of love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride

Knowing
Sensing
Seeing
Eating
Sleeping
That's just being.
Touching
Testing
Loving
Wanting and taking

More love and more pride.
In you I've found a story I want to keep hearing

I'm taking it round the world some love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.
That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.

"The Break Up Song" by Greg Kihn Band - June 16th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day


Lyrics:

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.

We'd been living together for a million years,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.

Now I'm winding up staring at an empty glass
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

They don't write 'em like that anymore.
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore.
Oh, they don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't, no they don't, no no, uh-uh,
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't...(fades)

"Don't Look Any Further" - by The Kane Gang - June 14th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Dayo umba dayo, mamba geeayoh
Don't look any further

Someone to count on in a world ever-changing
Here I am, stop where you're standing
What you need is a lover, someone to take over
Oh girl, don't look any further

Strange when you think of the chances
That we'd both be in a state of mind
Too cool to be careless, looking for the right thing
Oh baby, don't look any further

Dayo umba dayo, mamba geeayo
Don't look any further - don't you look no further
Dayo umba dayo, najambay umbayoh
Don't look any further
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_kane_gang/dont_look_any_further.html ]
Tonight, tonight, we're gonna taste a little paradise
Rocking all night long - rocking all night long
Daylight, daylight, I'll still be looking in your ebony eyes
And we'll go on and on and on and on

Dayo umba dayo, mamba geeayo
Don't look any further, don't you look no further

Someone to count on in a world ever-changing
Here I am, hey, stop where you're standing
What you need is a lover, to love you all over
Oh girl, don't look any further

Tonight, tonight, we're gonna taste a little paradise
Rocking all night long, rocking all night long
Daylight, daylight, I'll still be looking in your ebony eyes
And we'll go on and on and on and on

Dayo umba dayo, mamba geeayo
Don't look any further, don't you look no further
Dayo umba dayo, najambay umbayoh
Don't look any further

Lyrics:

Tongue-tied, (I'm) short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must be strong
Ooh, baby, try
Hey girl, move a little closer.
You're

CHORUS:
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye

You're moving in circles, won't you dilate
Baby try

"Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest - June 12th 80's Quest song of the Day

Lyrics:

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law

"Stone in Love" by Journey - June 11th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day


Lyrics:

Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight

[Chorus:]
Those summer nights are callin',
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love

Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever.

[Chorus]

"Just My Baby" by Rickie Lee Jones - June 9th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

It seems lately when I walk down the street
There's something in my neighborhood
It's getting stronger every day
There's a rumor that lights up all of me
And it whispers from the rooftops up above
I must hold on or I'll fly away

Oh, no, not the autumn leaves
Lift you up like a flower in the cool night breeze
My heart's just flying when he walks by

Oh, but he's my inspiration
Yes indeed my pride and joy
Don't you say nothing bad about
What's between me and my baby boy

My mom has her point of view
"You'll learn the hard way
If that's what you're gonna do"
My sister don't have much to say
My girlfriend told me when I was young
You'll know him the minute that he's there
Oh can't you feel it coming in the air?

Oh no, not a summer song
Makes the night feel better
When the day goes wrong
My heart's just a singer when he walks by

Oh no, not a summer night
You forget about tomorrow
Cause the world seems right
There goes my baby walking by

Oh, but he's my inspiration
Yes indeed my pride and joy
Don't say nothing bad about
What's between me and my baby boy

There goes my baby walking
There goes my baby walking by ...

"The Rain" by Oran Juice Jones - June 8th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I saw you (and him)
walking in the rain
You were holding hands
and I'll never be the same.

Tossing and turning another sleepless night
The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car didn't drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same.

Chorus

Chorus

Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I've got to say goodbye 'Cause

Chorus

Chorus

(I saw you)
Hey hey baby how ya doin' come on in here
(Walking in the rain)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you
Listen first things first let me hang up the coat
(You were holding hands and I'll)
Yeah how was your day today
Did you miss me
(Never be the same)
You did? Yeah? I missed you too
I missed you so much I followed you today
(I saw you)
That's right now close your mouth
'Cause you cold busted
(Walking in the rain)
Now just sit down here, sit down here
I'm so upset with you I don't know what to do
(You were holding hands and I'll)
You know my first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
(Never be the same)
I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you
But I didn't wanna mess up
this thirt-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled -- That's right chilled
I called up the bank and took out every dime.
Than I cancelled all your credit cards...
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery
I ever bought you!
Don't go lookin' in that closet
'cause everything you came here with
is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room.
What were you thinking?
You don't mess with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits,gucci handbags and blue diamonds.
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
Cause you're still young, yeah, you're young.
And you're gonna find somebody like me one of these days
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here
with that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with.
Cause youdismissed!
That's right, Silly rabbit,
tricks are made for kids, don't you know that.
You without me is like corn flakes without the milk!
This is my world.
You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
Now get on outta here.
Scat! Don't touch that coat...

"Xanadu" by Olivia Newton-John - June 6th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(It takes your breath and it'll leave you blind)

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
(A dream of it,we offer you)


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

Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu(Xanadu)
Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
(With every breath you drift away)

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
(The dream you dream,well it will happen for you)

A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star, an everlasting world and you're
Here with me eternally

Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu(Xanadu)
Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu(Xanadu,Xanadu)

Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu

"Little Jeannie" by Elton John - June 5th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Oh little Jeannie
You got so much love, little Jeannie
And you take it where it strikes
(and) give it to the likes of me
Oh little Jeannie
She got so much love, little Jeannie
So I see you when I can
You make me all a man can be

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
And oh oh Jeannie
You were always someone's fool

Little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years
You still retain the fears of youth
Oh little Jeannie
You got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast
Searching for some lasting truth

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
But oh oh Jeannie
I will always be your fool

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few
But oh oh Jeannie
I'm still in love with your

Stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had seem
Suddenly shiny and new
Oh Jeannie
I'm so in love with you

Stepped into my life from a bad dream

REPEAT

"You May Be Right" by Billy Joel - June 4th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said i'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting any one
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alone
So you said that only proves that i'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don,t try to save me
You may be wrong for all i know
But you may be right

Remember how i found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes untill you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as i am
Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If i'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn"t want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all i know
But you may be right

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don,t try to save me
You may be wrong for all i know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right

"Just Got Lucky" - by the Jo Boxers - June 3rd 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it's the beat I seek
And I found it
Just got lucky - yes
I found it
Just got lucky.
I never worry that your love is fake

I'm free and easy and I'm feeling jake
'cause I found it
Just got lucky
Oh boy, I found it
Just got lucky
'cause I newver felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin' for more.

I've been fooled by love so many times.
I gave up on all the silly rhymes.
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door
no key was cut that was the fit
Now I'm such a very lucky guy.
Gangway, one side now
come on, hear me say

We found the answer and it's plain to see (Come on hear me say)
That I'm for you and you're for me
'cause we found it
Just got lucky
Together we found it
Just got lucky.

I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky's the limit with a love like this
'cause we've found it
Just got lucky
Together we found it
Just got lucky
'cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always beggin' for more.

"Jane Says" - by Jane's Addiction - June 1st 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treat me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or
Try again tomorro
I'm gonna kick tomorro
Gonna kick tomorro

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But thats O.K. man
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
I'm goin away to spain
When I get my money saved
Gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorro
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walks up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
I never been in love
I don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Jane says
Jane says
