Question
Hi Bong, I recorded a pop song off the radio back in the 80s, and have since searched for its lyrics on Google, but have found nothing.  I have a poor-quality file of the song that I can send if you want to listen to it.
Thanks!
p.s.  Two other experts on this board (Sandra and Katie) didn't bother to ask me for the mp3 file. They just selected the option "But this is outside of my expertise".

My best guess at the lyrics:

Me and you ooh ooh on the river of love
Where the heart beats faster
And the river flows
Me and you ooh ooh on the river of love, on the river of love

Hey big daddy now bang on the drum
?
And look out sister now here they come
?
Never on our own, never on our own
Somebody wants my ?

Me and you on the river of love
Where the heart beats faster
And the river flows
Me and you ooh ooh ooh ooh on the river of love

Now tell me big daddy what is right and wrong
When little Jimmy… ?
Now tell me momma shall we sing along
When little sister’s getting married to a…?
Never on our own, never on our own
Somebody wants my…?

Me and you on the river of love
Where the heart beats faster
And the river flows
Me and you ooh ooh ooh ooh on the river of love

It’s me and you ooh ooh ooh ooh on the river of love
La la la on the river of love, on the river of love
La la la on the river of love, on the river of love


Answer
Dear Larry,

I usually recognized a song when I see its lyrics. But I have doubts on the lyrics that you gave. Let's see what I can do. Send your file to my yahoo account: bong_santos_jbl11@yahoo.com

Maraming salamt po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
