It’s time for round #9 or so of the ever-popular song-lyrics game. This time, all songs start with the letter P or R (sorry, no Q songs). Here are the clues:
all songs are in alphabetical order by song title
the first 12 begin with P
the final 15 begin with R
these are generally songs by popular artists of the 60s thru 90s, with exceptions
these are not necessarily all #1 hits
the name of the song will not appear in the lyrics given
Please identify both the song title and the original artist.
Good luck!
