Answer
Dear Familian,

Not a very clear clue actually. This is just a wild guess. You may be referring to BIG LOVE by FLEETWOOD MAC from their 1987 album TANGO IN THE NIGHT. I remember LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM who wrote and sang the lead sounding like BILLY IDOL on that one coupled with its provocative "oh - ahh" male/female vocal exchange. But in reality, they're both LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM's voice created by way of his voice being sampled and altered in the studio to mimic that of a woman. BIG LOVE peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart on May 30, 1987. Here's its lyrics:

BIG LOVE / FLEETWOODMAC

Looking out for love
In the night so still
Oh I'll build you a kingdom
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

You said that you love me
And that you always will
Oh you begged me to keep you
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

I wake up alone
With it all
I wake up
But only to fall

Looking out for love
Big, big love
Just looking out for love
Big, big love

Maraming salamat po!!
