Name the song the line is from Part II

Well, he was definitely past his Cougar days when he sang it, but I'm not sure whether he was still Cougar Mellencamp, or had moved on to just Mellencamp, lol.

Anyway, he was John One-Or-The-Other, singing Check It Out. Good one, jokermgb.


This is from '79:

So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say

A few more lines and a few hints:


So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go wrong?


This 1979 single hit #1 on the US Hot 100, #1 on the US R&B, and #4 on the UK Singles charts.

Recorded on the Motown label, it was the last single this group released that included their well known lead singer. He went solo after this one.

Hi All,

That must be the Commodores, Jim. I’m sure those lines are from “Still”.

This one has been covered so many times, I don’t recall who I heard it from first:

Let this be just the start of so many nights like this

Pretty sure that's The Look Of Love. It's not an old standby or anything (it dates from the 60s, maybe?), but I can't recall who did it first, either.


OK, I'll go ahead and jinx this one by saying it's easy. It's from 1978:

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

I’d know that one anywhere. Does that make it "easy"?
It’s “My Life” by Billy Joel. It’s always good to hear that one, Jim.

Here’s a pretty one from 1980:

Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan

A pretty one it is, Cyn!

Lost In Love, by Air Supply



In 1964, this was a biggie on both sides of the pond:

Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love

I believe that’s “Do-Wah Ditty” by Manfred Mann. I hear that a lot here. It’s a good one.

Mid-80s here:

Never let another girl like you, drag me under

You betcha. And like Matthew Wilder, Ain't Nothin' Gonna Break My Stride, either. Good, fun one!


OK, there's obviously lots of nuance and hidden meaning in this one:

Ooooh
Fallin' free, fallin' free
Fallin' free, fallin' free
Fallin' free


(1977, BTW. US#6, UK#1)

Good one Jim - Free Fallin' Tom Petty

******* NEW ************

Staying with the Seventies -

Now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand

Sorry, Tony, but the Tom Petty song Free Fallin’ isn’t the correct answer to my lyrics.

I’m looking for a song that contains the phrase fallin’ free (not free fallin’), repeated five times in a row.


Adding more lyrics for Tony, or anyone else who’d like to take a guess:

Ooooh
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free, fallin’ free
Fallin’ free
Ooooh
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
You and me
