    80s Soul/Disco Song

    Today on my way back from hockey practice, I heard a nice tune on the radio, which I didn't recognize. Whenever that happens, I try to remember some of the lyrics so I can Google them at home and find out what the song was. I did so this time, too, but I keep coming up empty.

    The lyrics go something along these lines:

    dancing with tears in my eyes, next time i'll/it'll be real

    And no, it's not that cheesy Ultravox song I'm reciting there, even though the lyrics match to an extent. It had a distinctive 80s feel/sound to it.

    The radio station I heard it on even lists the 10 most recently played songs, but I forgot to check it as soon as I got back. Yeah, I know. Sucks.

    Does anybody recognize what song this is?

    Closest I can think of is:

    Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true

    YouTube - Womack & Womack - Teardrops (12'' Mix)

    Beat me to it by a few seconds SD, both submitted at 11.06. LOL

    SD... Is it a case of 'great minds think alike' or 'fools seldom differ'. :icon_lol:

    Probably a bit of both O.D.D.! How weird that we both replied at exactly the same time!

    Very spooky SD.

    We would both have been toggling between this thread and a youtube search for Teardrops at exactly the same time.

    Looks like my typing 2 lines in my reply, compared to your 1, cost me the Gold Medal in a photo finish. :icon_mrgreen:

    Yes, it always pays to be brief in my experience! (you'll be pleased to know that I won't be going into details of my experiences!)
