Lyrically Speaking - 2/1/24

The 1970's are front and center for our Thursday game, and the wheel of random landed on the year 1971! This was about the year my Mom and Dad met at the drive in they were working at during their high school years, so I was that proverbial gleam in the eye. For the rest of you older folks, you just might actually remember when a lot of these songs were shiny and new. They were all released in 1971, or at least big on the charts that year...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
2. All my friends had to ask me
Something they didn't understand
How I get all the women
In the palm of my hand
3. I really want to know you (hallelujah)
Really want to go with you (hallelujah)
4. You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone
5. She's got something that moves my soul
And she knows I'd love to love her
But she lets me down every time
6. I'm a-tellin' you beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
7. Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy"
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world, she belongs to me
8. I felt the joy and I learned about the pain
That my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me
Would surely strike me dead
9. You packed your bags as I recall
And you walked slowly down the hall
You said you had to get away to ease your mind
And all you needed was a just little of time
10. House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight
11. Forget about the past and all your sorrows
The future won't last, it will soon be your tomorrow
12. Well, she knows what I'm about
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was released or on the charts in 1971 (2 year cushion).
