My Favorite Songs by Lyrics

Try to guess some of my favorite songs. Don't worry. I've given you some lyrics to help you out. As a father of six and the youngest of five children born in 1970, these songs run the gamut of decades and genres. Have fun!
As an early Gen Xer, I don't give participation ribbons. So, very little leeway is given on spelling and titles.
Beginning articles are not needed. i.e. for "A Hard Day's Night", you don't need the "A".
