Is that a new song?  It sounds like the Jackson 5's "ABC."

George

I didn't announce a change of song- it's the same song. 

This song made it to 1 on the Top UK Singles and Top Canadian Singles, and 1 on the US Billboard Top 100, both weekly and for that year.  In fact, it made it to 5 on the Billboard Chart for the Decade.  And it fits under my usual rule of "1985 or earlier."

"Oh can't you see, you belong to me? How my poor heart aches with every step you take."

 

"Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace. I dream at night, I can only see your face. I look around, but it's you I can't replace.  I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace. I keep crying, "Baby, baby, please..." "

Every word you say,
Every game you play,
Every night you stay"

I'm sorry about that. 

Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low plane!
Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself,
Serve yourself.
World serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
Reverent in the right
Right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
Light, feeling pretty psyched.

"IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (and I feel fine)",  by R.E.M. 

IIRC, it's off "Document."     Their biggest hits were off "Green" (after "Document"), and IMHO, their best song, "Can't Get There From Here", wasn't on either album.    All of those were 80s albums, I think.

Ridin' down the highway, goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways, playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned,

gettin' beat up
Broken boned,

gettin' had,

gettin' took
I tell you folks it's harder than it looks

Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second-hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band

I figured someone would have picked up on this by now.   More lines then.

If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band

Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell know the reason why
Gettin' old, gettin' gray, gettin' ripped off
Under-paid, gettin' sold, second hand
That's how it goes playin' in a band

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean

Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told m

I really thought this line would give it away.  Second line was a big clue.
