Name That Tune!

This is played in other groups...since the A-Z Song Titles one has taken off here I thought I would bring over another fun one.

Here's the deal: I will start by giving the first few lines to a popular hit song. First person who can figure out the song title (or at least the artist)responds with that answer and then gives the lines to another popluar hit song. Each person who answers the previous post gives lyrics to another song.

Please try to keep to songs that were radio singles so there is a better chance for people to solve it. Also, if it is slightly harder, you may want to give a couple of lines to help it along. If anyone gets stumped, the person who posted the lyric should let everyone know what it was and then move on to another song lyric. Sounds doable? Hope I explained it well enough....


Ok so here's the first one to guess....I think it should be pretty easy, but I thought I'd start off that way just to get the ball rolling...

"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you,
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around, turned you into someone new."

  Is this too hard? Should I give a clue? Or is there no one interested in playing?....

  I'm interested in playing, but I have no idea. I don't think TPF is back yet, so I was leaving it open in case any of our loiterers wanted to jump in...

  Seems no one else is jumping yet so here's a clue in hopes it'll help someone name the song - It was an early 80's hit for Human League.

  I wasn't born until the early 80s...

  I was born in '79 so the early 80's are hard for me to remember too, but the song still gets played pretty frequently and gets used in tv shows, commercials, movies...I'm pretty certain it's on the "He's Just Not That Into You" soundtrack and I think Swiffer's using it in commercials...
  
  If none of that helps any let me know and I'll move on to another song lyric.

  I haven't heard of "He's Just Not That Into You" or Swiffer's. I can only think of one song by the Human League, and I can't think of the name of it. It comes out at Christmas over here. I'm trying to sing it in my head, but for some reason all that I'm getting is Andy Williams "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", and I know that's not right.

  lol...Ah yeah, that movie just came out here so you guys probably don't have it yet there and well swiffer's a cleaning product for dusting and such - I just assumed they existed outside the US too but I guess maybe not. Ah well....It was "Don't You Want Me"...
  
  We shall try again, eh?! Hopefully this one is easier to get...

  Yearning feelin' inside me

  And it hurts so bad"
  
  Hope that's not too hard ladies!

  Welcome back, TPF! Hope you're feeling a bit better now. No idea on the song though.

  It was 3 Dog Night...but 2 is close enough!
  
  Baby Love, although that isn't the beginning of the song so it took me a while to click into that one...
