You can help me make this feeling come alive.

8
It’s not hard to predict this ending now.

It takes conviction; it takes a will to survive.

22
And old friend calls and tells us where to meet.

I can love how I like if I want it.

24
You came around and brought about a change in me.

25
They knew we were lyin’, but they smiled just the same.

What we’ve got’s too strong to be denied.

27
All alone with you makes the butterflies in me arise.

28
I’m so dizzy I can’t see; can’t make out the forest for the trees.

29

30
I’m the one that loves you baby; can’t you see?

Well you're right! I wouldn't pick a lyric which included the name of the song!

Well you're right to a degree...they range from '84 to '96. I think that's probably the case mainly because '96 was the last time I ever worked at a "real" radio station, so I was more-intensely familiar with the music from listening to it so much.

And it also seems like recent songs would be too easy anyway, but you're welcome to start your own Lyrics Quiz from '97 forward!

[Daniel Shywaoub]

Tsk tsk tsk...63%! Here's a second line...

2
Take a look at me;
Tell me--do you like what you see?

3
I want to run and hide--right now!
Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea.

4
You put me off and I will hunt you down--again.
I’m mighty patient when I have to be;

7
You can help me make this feeling come alive;
When you hold me close that's when you set me free.

11
When a love begins to wander, no one ever knows
What we’re feeling deep inside us, long before it shows.

13
Don’t you think I don’t know this is where I belong.
Give me the time; say that you're mine.

14
I love you even if you think that I don’t.
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you, but I don't mind.

15
I will not fail nor falter--I shall succeed.
My perception is altered, I do believe.

16
You can have everything your heart desires--
The perfect boy; for me, the perfect girl.

27
All alone with you makes the butterflies in me arise.
Slowly we make love, and the earth rotates to our dictates.

29
Ooh baby, you’re way out of line now.
Unaware how this all got started;

And since #29 is not an obscure song like the five above songs, I'll give you a hint: It was #1 in the first half of 1990 and this singer hasn't had a Top 40 song since.

Another hint: It's NOT by the singer who avoids bowling alleys at all costs lest someone stick their fingers in her head.

OK, it's "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" by Jane Child.
