A challenging 80s music quiz!

A friend sent me a pretty difficult, but fun, 1980s music quiz! I know that you ladies and gents love the ‘80s. (How many pages is that ‘80s music game thread now?) So, I decided to forward this to you. The idea here is to identify songs and artists using the lyrical bits listed below.

I already know what the answers are, so I’m not going to play, but feel free to ask for help! Also, this is only the first half of the quiz. I’ll send the other half later in the week if anyone is interested. Have fun!

1. If you are the desert, I’ll be the sea
2. It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand
3. We kiss altogether wrong, no intentions
4. I hear you when you laugh at me woman, I see you when you cry for me
5. I can lock all my doors
6. See the chameleon, lying there in the sun
7. Especially at night, I worry over situations
8. Watch out boy, she’ll chew you up
9. Looks like the whole world’s out of synch
10. And the lights are flashing on your windowsill
11. Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you
12. This doesn’t happen to me every day
13. You take my breath away, love thinks it’s here to stay
14. Storms are brewing in your eyes
15. Now everyone can see my true identity
16. Electric eyes are everywhere
17. Call up ring once hang up the phone
18. I walk along the avenue, I never thought I’d meet a girl like you
19. This is it that’s the end of the joke
20. And in her mouth an amethyst
21. People say, I’m obsessed
22. The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
23. A simple thought, to occupy my time
24. Who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream?
25. Nations go to war over women like you
26. We always wish for money, we always wish for fame
27. That’s how my love goes
28. All you do is call me, I’ll be anything you need
29. ‘Cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why
30. Don’t leave it all behind you, it took so long to find you
31. And so the conversation turned, until the sun went down
32. We never lose a game
33. Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
34. If it’s love you want from me, then take it away
35. Remember the one we made love to endlessly
36. I feel tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
37. For everything I long to do, no matter where or when or who
38. Another day goes by and all I do is cry
39. Once upon a time, once when you were mine
40. I don’t see any easy way to get out of this
41. Can’t you see I’m burnin’, burnin’
42. Sucka MCs should call me sire
43. Open up your loving arms, watch out here I come
44. Love ‘em and leave ‘em fast
45. Don’t ever let them change your point of view
46. North east west south, all in the same house
47. Your crime is time
48. Once there was a day, we were together all the way
49. Heaven can wait, we’re only watching the skies
50. I live upstairs from you

They look good so far. The Rod Stewart song title is actually "Young Turks" if you want to be picky about it... but so far, so good! Can folks fill in the artists of "I Ran" and "Sara"????
