The line that may be more familiar is: "But then most all, I do love you (dramatic pause) ________." Name this song.
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This late 1970s Commodores hit featured Lionel Richie on lead vocals. Our group that picked this song felt it had sadly poignant lyrics. We felt the nearly six minute album version had our favorite line not found on the single: "remembering the pain, if I must say, It's deep in my mind and locked away." The line that may be more familiar is: "But then most all, I do love you (dramatic pause) ________." Name this song.

Answer: "Still"

"Lady" and "Brickhouse" are up-tempo songs, and "Truly" was a solo hit for Lionel Richie.
2. This 1960s Beatles' hit is widely regarded by my group of friends as a "sad" classic. It features the longing of Paul McCartney's vocals in our favorite line from the song. "Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say, I said something wrong and now I long for _____________." What Beatle's song is this?

Answer: "Yesterday"

While most my friends voted for "Yesterday", my vote went to the "Rubber Soul" classic "Help". "Michelle" is also from the "Rubber Soul" album and won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1967, but is not really a sad song. "Today" is a morning TV show in the USA.
3. This late 1980s Atlantic Starr song is reflective of when a relationship seems to be heading to an end. Our best line: "You treat me like a stranger, as if I wasn't there, Ah baby, I waited for a miracle to make you show that you care." What is the song's title?

Answer: "If Your Heart Isn't in It"

"Always" is a wedding classic by Atlantic Starr, especially if you got married late '80s early '90s. "Ballerina Girl" is by Lionel Richie, and "I Don't Have the Heart" is by James Ingram.
4. This song by Poison was written by Bret Michaels after he found out his girlfriend was cheating on him. It was a Billboard number one hit in the late 1980s. The great lines (for us) is: "And now I hear you found somebody new, and That I never meant that much to you, to hear that tears me up inside, and to see you cuts me like a knife." What song is this?

Answer: "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"

"Heaven" is by Warrant, and my personal favorite power ballad "You Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone" is by Cinderella. The Poison song "At the Drive-In" was certainly not a song about a broken-heart!
5. Name this 1984 Rod Stewart song that contains these lines from the song: "All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they're with someone, someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one." According to this song, "Some Guys Have ___________." What song is this?

Answer: "All the Luck"

This song seemed ironic considering some of the women Stewart married or dated over the years, even heard Deejays here in So. Cal make the same quip back in the day. "Maggie May" and "You're in my Heart" are from the 1970s and "Downtown Train" was released in late 1989 by Stewart and was written by Tom Waits.
6. This Bob Marley song is more about unrequited love, but it was one of our favorites we would listen to after a break-up. The lyrics we liked are:"You see, in life, I know, there's lots of grief, but your love is my relief, tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn, while I'm waiting for my turn". What is this song's name?

Answer: "Waiting in Vain"

The video was great with all the Hawaiian scenery! Though Marley had passed away when the video came out, there are clips of him in it. The video focuses on a young dreadlock boy looking for his young hula girl, and he finds her at the end. All the songs in this question are on the "Exodus" album, which was ranked #169 of Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 500 Albums of All-Time" in 2003.
7. When Paul Weller left The Jam, he formed the group The Style Council. This song was released as a single in the UK in 1983, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart.

'Cause I end up hurting you'. What is the title of this song?

Answer: "Long Hot Summer"

"Above the Clouds" is a solo work by Weller, and "The Bitterest Pill" is from The Jam. "My Ever Changing Mood" is from the "Cafe Blue" album, but is more social commentary than sad love song."Long Hot Summer" was rarely heard in the USA, but we got info about it as members of "The Jam Fan Club".
8. This Michael Jackson sad song is from the "Off The Wall" album released in 1979. It hit number ten on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in June 1980.
