Bananarama
Bananarama are an English female pop music vocal group formed in London in 1979 by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Their success on both pop and dance charts have earned the group a listing in The Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold.
They released their debut single "Aie a Mwana" in 1981. Between 1982 and 2009, they had 28 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK singles chart. Their 10 UK Top 10 hits include "It Ain't What You Do..." (1982), "Really Saying Something" (1982), "Shy Boy" (1982), "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" (1983), "Cruel Summer" (1983), "Robert De Niro's Waiting..." (1984) and "Love in the First Degree" (1987). In 1986, they had a US number one with another of their UK Top 10 hits, "Venus". In total, they had 11 singles reach the US Billboard Hot 100 (1982-1988), including two more in the top 10, with "Cruel Summer" (1984) and "I Heard a Rumour" (1987). They are associated with the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. In 1988, "Love in the First Degree" earned them a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single, while their fourth album Wow! (1987), topped the Australian ARIA albums chart.

Got A Thing For You
You, you make me come alive
Each time I close my eyes
You take up all my time
My every thoughts of you
(bridge)
Tell me why
I got a thing for you, a thing for you
Do you mind if I get with you, get with you, baby
(chorus)
I got I got a thing for you, my baby
Tell me can I get with you now baby
I just can't live without you
I got I got a thing for you, my baby
Tell me can I get with you now baby
I just can't live without you
Feel your body close to mine
Each time I close my eyes
I feel so good tonight
You make me want to cry
(bridge)
(chorus)
No, no matter what I do
I cannot help myself
I cannot stop from falling
No, no matter what I do
You're my everything
I just can't live without you
(chorus x 2)
