Song is from the mid 80's. It's called "All the people tell me so" or "Genieve" or "Jeaninne"

All the people tell me so, but what do all the people know?
Could you be the one I'm dreaming of?
Could you be the girl I really love?
Are we getting there Geieve (or Jeaninne) every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I've been so confused, I really don't know what to do.
All the people tell me so, but what do all the people know?

It's kind of a fast rock beat. Very danceable. (don't laugh, I was the Boogie Man back in high school. A legend in my own mind.

I think the song may be by Rick Springfield (God forbid, I hope I'm wrong! LOL!)

Thanks.

Edited for lyrics.
 
I think it's by The Monroes, title is "What Do All the People Know".

(I am only 23, but I hope it is OK that I read your thread 😉)
 
"What do all the people know" by the Monroes


you know i told you once tonight

that you could always speak your mind

you work so hard to say what's right

i watch you do it all the time



and when i called you on the phone

you said that i could be the one

but here i'm standing all alone

and you're out lying in the sun



tell me

am i getting in too deep

every night i'm talking in my sleep

lately i am so confused

i really don't know what to do



could you be the one i'm thinking of

could you be the girl i really love

all the people tell me so

but what do all the people know



you know i told you once tonight

that you could always speak your mind

you work so hard to say what's right

i watch you do it all the time



and when i called you on the phone

you said that i could be the one

but here i'm standing all alone

and you're out lying in the sun



tell me

am i getting in too deep

every night i'm talking in my sleep

lately we're just holding on

to something that will soon be gone



could you be the one i'm thinking of

could you be the girl i really love

all the people tell me so

but what do all the people know



do you think i'm blind to what you do

do you think i really care for you

or is it just another game

that you and i pretend to play



do you think we both should let it show

do you think we both should let it go

or is it just another game

that you and i pretend to play



tell me

am i getting in too deep

every night i'm talking in my sleep

lately i am so confused

i really don't know what to do



could you be the one i'm thinking of

could you be the girl i really love

all the people tell me so

but what do all the people know



all the people tell me so

but what do all the people know

all the people tell me so

but what do all the people know

 


<< Wow, I'm a 30-something who was a music fanatic back in the 80's and I've never heard of that one. >>


You'd recognize the song if you heard it, for sure...
 
Bigsmooth wins the "Rapid Response" Prize! But AmusedOne blew my mind with The Complete Lyrics! Yep, the Monroes, one of the One Hit Wonders of our time. I love this song. Thanks! Now, how to find this CD?
 


<< One of the best "One hit Wonders" of the 80's. >>





Actually, the record company went bankrupt and out of business right before the records release. I am one of (500?) or so people who actually got the EP back in 82. The group resurfaced a while later but by then no one knew who they were anymore. It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest tunes. You can fing the song on a lot of those "80" collection cds that are out there but the version on the cds is the short-edit version.
