You and Me - Alice Cooper           

Alice Cooper & the Muppets.

When I get home from work,
I wanna wrap myself around you.
I wanna take you and squeeze you
Til the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven.
That would make my day complete.

But you and me ain't no movie stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some lovin',
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am is what I am.
And I tell you, babe,
well that's enough for me.

Sometimes when you're asleep
and I'm just starin' at the ceiling,
I wanna reach out and touch you,
but you just go on dreamin'.

If I could take you to heaven,
that would make my day complete.

But you and me ain't no movie stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some lovin',
and TV, yeah.
That's enough for a workin' man.
What I am is what I am.
And I tell you, sweetheart
that's just enough for me.

You and me ain't no super stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
some popcorn,
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am is what I am.
And I tell you, babe,
you're just enough for me.

When I get home from work,
I wanna wrap myself around you.
I like to hold you squeeze you
Til the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven.
That would make my day complete.

You and me ain't no movie stars.
What we are is what we are.
We share a bed,
of lovin',
and TV, yeah.
And that's enough for a workin' man.
What I am well that's what I am.
I tell you, baby,
that's just enough for me.

Alice Cooper - You and Me (original video)           

Original Music Video.

Some claim that the original video is longer than the one presented here and has an introduction. I couldn't say: this is the first copy or edition that has been posted on the internet (before this one, there's was only the infamous "muppet" version).In this particular case, the "introduction" may have been damaged: note that the audio has been "reconstructed" at the beginning.

Andy Gibb - I Just Want To Be Your Everything (Live 1977)           

Once the Bee Gees experienced a career revival with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977, the Gibb brothers' younger sibling Andy began his own solo career. Following his brothers' disco style, Andy Gibb's first three singles ("I Just Want to Be Your Everything," "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water," and "Shadow Dancing") all hit number one. Three more consecutive Top Ten hits followed, cementing his overnight sensation status. Despite the number four "Desire," Gibb's streak of Top Ten hits began to slip in 1980; the following year he had his last Top 40 hit, "Me (Without You)." After a brief stint as the host of Solid Gold, Gibb turned to acting, where he failed to replicate the enormous success of his recording career. He developed a massive cocaine addiction, which led to his death in 1988 from an inflammatory heart virus. He was 30 years old. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide.

Emotions - Best Of My Love

The Emotions' 1977 hit "Best of My Love." I did not do lyrics on screen as it is time consuming, and given the way YouTube has been blocking lately, I didn't want to take the risk. 

Doesn't take much to make me happy
and make me smile
Never never will I feel discouraged
Cause our love's no mystery
Demonstrating love and affection
That you give so openly yeah
I like the way ya make me about you baby
Want the whole wide world to see

[Chorus:]
Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you've got the best of my love
Goin' in and out of changes
The kind that come around each day
My life has a better meaning
Love has kissed me in a beautiful way
And oh yea (my love, my love)
oh yea (my love, my love)
Oh you got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you've got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you've got the best of my love
Whoa whoa, you've got the best of my love
Demonstrating sweet love and affection
That you give so openly yeah
The way I feel about ya baby can't explain it
Want the whole wide world to see
Ohhh but in my heart
You're all I need
You for me and me for you
ohhh, it's growin' every day ooooh
ohhh, oh oh oh oh oh
you've got the best of my love
ohhh, oh oh oh oh oh
you've got the best of my love
ohhh, givin' you the best of my love
my love ohh my love

my love ohh oh yeah
ohhh, oh oh oh oh oh
you've got the best of my love

Peter McCann - Do You Wanna Make Love           

Sometimes the love rhymes that fill that afternoon,
Lose all their meaning with the rising moon.
Hold me and tell me that the words you say are true,
Answer the question I must ask of you .....

Do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
I guarantee it will bring you down,
If you try and fool yourself.
Do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
You can take it seriously,
Or take it somewhere else.

Take all the freedom that a lover will allow,
If you feel the feeling that I'm feeling now.
Where love goes, a fool knows that the hurt can go as deep,
Don't make a promise that you cannot keep.

Do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
I guarantee it will bring you down,
If you try and fool yourself.
Do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
You can take it seriously,
Or take it somewhere else.

If you wanna get close to me,
You could do it so easily.
Is it love that I see when I look in your eyes,
Or just another empty lie?

Do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
I guarantee it will bring you down,
If you try and fool yourself.
Well, do you wanna make love,
Or do you just want to fool around?
You can take it seriously,
Or take it somewhere else.
