I can feel my body rock

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I’d think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

And that's the song stuck in my head right now, cool. There's no rhyme or reason for these blasts from the past that find their way through the zillions of paths within my brain and rest on the tip of my tongue or zip around my lips as I hum the melody to myself. I did wake up to rain today. The rain wasn't exactly pouring and I doubt that I'd consider the wind's sound as a whisper. I chalk it up to complete randomness. Another:
You made me promises, promises
Knowing I'd believe
Promises, promises
You knew you'd never keep

This one bounced around my head for about a week before I finally sat down and Googled it to find out: 1. Who sang it and 2. What the other words were besides "promises, promises." I seriously sang that one phrase over and over for close to a week.

Now, it's ok when the song is one you know and you can sing a couple verses and then the chorus. If it's a song you love, it can be enjoyable to sit on the bus or walk down the street with a great song cranking through your head. But it's songs like "Promises Promises" and this one that you only know one select line to and nothing else that start to cause the problems. It gnaws at your insides and makes your brain tire. Here is my all time hardest (and longest running) instance of stumping myself:

Love, love on the run, breaking us down,
Though we keep holding on.
I don’t want to lose, no I can’t let you go.

Now, I only had the first line of this in my memory and hummed the rest. And, I believe that it is the bridge of the song. So, everyone I'd sing it to would be like, "How does the chorus go?" That's why I was asking you! I only know what seems to be some sort of bridge! Luckily this "love, love on the run" blurb didn't run my life and I'd forget about it for weeks until surely enough it would put itself back in line as one of my daily tasks.

Now this was years ago, but from what I remember I finally sat down and just did a search for the lyric that I knew and then easily found out, defeated. Anyone know what it is right now before clicking on this link? If you did, your useless musical knowledge is far better than mine and you should be proud of yourself.

and she's watchin' him with those eyes
and she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
what might be right for you, may not be right for some
