Name the song the line is from Part II


Note to self: NEVER say that your lyrics are from an "easy one." It guarantees that no one will know the song.



OK, here are a few more lines to go with the ones I posted last night:

To you I'm a toy
but I could be the boy
You adore
If you'd just let me know

Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you
All the more
Why do I need you so?


Well Jim,

It was eluding me all night. But, now I got it. It’s “Build me up, Buttercup”.

Here’s a little 1975:

There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in


I liked those guys. Really different sound. It's ELO, singing Evil Woman.


This one is from 1987:

And this time I know it's for real
The feeling that I feel


A few more lines might help:


And this time I know it's for real
The feeling that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it
I know that I really can do it



In the US, the song hit #1 on both the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts.

Can't come up with any good hints about the artist that don't give too much away.


That really helped, Jim. The first clue looked too much like another song. But I knew it was wrong, it being from another decade.
But now I know that it’s “Got my mind set on you” by George Harrison.

#7 in 1964:

And so you cry a little bit
I'm not sure of the title, Cyndee. Is it "It Hurts to Be In Love?"

I'm going out soon, so if I'm right, feel free to go on with another one.
Yes, Sue. you got it. But I have to run out for a bit. The floor is open.

Hey!! Where'd everybody go??!!??



OK, this one started out as a big band standard in the 40s, but it never really went anywhere until a lttle-known vocalist took it to #4 in 1963:


You love me, then you snub me

That’s “Since I fell for you”. Little-known vocalist, eh? I just remember that it sounded very good. Who was it, Jim?

Since we’re in the 60s, I’ll go to 1964:

You won't be seeing rainbows any more

Good one! It's Over, by Roy O.



This one was a #3 hit in 1962:

They say a man should never cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears





(The 1963 version of Since I Fell For You was done by Lenny Welch.)
