Answer
Dear Ron,

That would be WHAT DO I KNOW by the Canadian band SAGA. Originally called POCKETS, they were part of Canada's 70's progressive rock movement together with RUSH. They consist of bassist JIM CRICHTON, drummer STEVE NEGUS, keyboard player PETER RACHON, guitarist IAN CRICHTON and vocalist MICHAEL SADLER. WHAT DO I KNOW was lifted from their 1985 album BEHAVIOUR. The song didn't reached the Billboard Hot 100 Chart but got to No. 24 on its Hot Mainstream Rock Charts on September 14, 1985. Here's how it goes:

WHAT DO I KNOW / SAGA

You were once my vice
Now you're just like ice
So cold and too cool
You know how to hypnotize
You wear a great disguise
I've learned to see through

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

I don't see wrong from right
But I could see the light
Stopped shining in you
And on a distant night
You went and lost the fight
That made me look up to you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What did you change for
No one could give you more

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What did you change for
No one could give you more

Maraming salamat 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.
