Question
I am looking for the title to two songs from the 80's.  One was actually the answer song to the first.  I thought the first was called the rain and the second was called thunder and lightning, but I can't find anything about either, so I may be wrong.  It was partly rap/spoken and the entire song has thunder playing in the back ground.  Can you help?

I would appreciate it.

Answer
Dear CJ,

Much as I want to help you, the infos were so vague. It would have been better had you gave me some lyrics or who sang it, male or female, etc... I know a song, rap or spoken it was, with thunder and lightning on the background. I hope it is one of the song. Its title is WHEN WE KISS by BARDEUX, an all-girl dance-pop duo whose members include STACY "ACACIA" SMITH & JAZZ. It was their only Top 40 hit, peaking at #36 in 1988. It was a cut form their album "BOLD AS LOVE". MELANIE TAYLOR replaced JAZZ in 1989. Here's how it goes:

WHEN WE KISS / BARDEUX

It was late one night
And we had a fight
And it seemed like nothing
Was going right
Then you turned around
And you walked
Right out the door

Now it`s not the first time
It`s not the last
I know all about
Your checkered past
And we played this game
One thousand times before

Do you remember the night
I can see it so clear
All the sweet little things
That you sang in my ear
There were promises made
But I think you forgot
What you said

There`s a real fine line
Between love and hate
And I`m not the type
To just sit and wait
I`ve made up my mind
I can`t wait for you anymore

But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much

So many days go by
And I still want you so
If it was up to me
I`d never let you go
You`re the only true love in my life
And I want you to know

All this passion and pain
I think I`m going insane
We`ve got nothing to lose
And so much to gain
If you love me today
Who`s to say you`d not leave me again

Do you remember the night
I can see it so clear
All the sweet little things
That you sang in my ear
There were promises made
But I think you forgot
What you said

There`s a real fine line
Between love and hate
And I`m not the type
To just sit and wait
I`ve made up my mind
I can`t wait for you anymore

But when we kiss
It feels like this
And when we touch
It means so much
