Haven't heard Paul Anka for some time...

Here's my 80s tv heroes...The Fall Guy.

I always light up whenever I see the side kick.

such simple yet touching yet "scary" lyrics, let's hope we can never relate to this song...

When you called me up this morning,
Told me 'bout the new love you found,
I said "I'm happy for you,
I'm really happy for you."
Found someone else,
I guess I won't be coming 'round.
I guess it's over, baby;
It's really over, baby, whoa...
And from what you said
I know you've gotten over me;
It'll never be the way it used to be.
So if it's gotta be this way,
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay.

[Chorus:]
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the streets someday,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me;
I don't want you to see me this way.

When we both agreed as lovers,
We were better off as friends,
That's how it had to be,
Yeah, that's how it had to be.
I tell you I'm fine
But sometimes I just pretend;
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, whoa...
I just never thought,
That I would be replaced so soon;
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you.
I know I wanted to be free;
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be.

[Chorus 2x]

When you called me up this morning,
Told me 'bout the new love you found.
I said "I'm happy for you,
I'm really happy for you." Edited May 25, 2012 by adx

I used to fantasize playing Belinda Carlisle's song while driving in a convertible along the desert highway...especially to Circles in the sand.

Ok I put a spell on you. 2 treatments to the same song. I like both.

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize

That my life would change forever

Saw you standing there

I didn't know I'd care

There was something

special in the air

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of real fantasy

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

It seems as if it's meant to be

Dreams are my reality

A different kind of reality

I dream of loving in the night

And loving seems alright

Although it's only fantasy

If you do exist

Honey don't resist

Show me a new way of loving

Tell me that it's true

Show me what to do

I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of reality

Maybe my foolishness is past

And maybe now at last

I'll see how the real thing can be

Dreams are my reality

A wond'rous world

where I like to be

I dream of holding you all night

And holding you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize

That my life would change forever

Tell me that it's true

Feelings that are new

I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality

A wondrous world

where I like to be

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

Although it's only fantasy

Dreams are my reality

I like to dream of you close to me

I dream of loving in the night

And loving you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality
