Can you name the artist and song:

But you know, you gotta stick to your guns
When it all comes down
’cause Sometimes you can’t choose it
It’s like heads they win, tails you’re gonna lose

Last Song: “The Other Woman” by Ray Parker Jr. from the album The Other Woman (1982)

Great job Adora (@Adora2000), Kevin (@NerdySeahorse), and Jennifer (@TeamBobbyEwing)!!!

Never thought it would amount to much
Never met a girl who’s love was so tough
Who’d a thought a one night stand
Could turn into such a hot romance
