"Layin' It On The Line", Favorite Lines from Eighties Songs, Songs Beginning with P

The purpose of this page is really pretty simple, I'm just looking for people's favorite song lyrics, preferably 4 lines or less from a song. No, I won't list entire songs or mail people song lyrics (don't even ask, I won't respond). I'd like to list entire song lyrics to everyone's favorite songs, but that's a blatent copywrite violation, and I don't need any nasty letters in the mail, but a few lines from a song should be considered fair use. So feel free to let us all know what your favorite lines from an eighties song is.

"Panama" by Van Halen
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off

Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

"Praying For Time" by George Michael
So you scream from behind your door,
say what's mine is mine and not yours,
I may have too much, but I'll take my chances,
Cause God stopped keeping score.
And you cling to the things they sold you.
Did you cover your eyes when they told you,
that he can't come back,
Cause he has no children to come back for.
