Default Searching for a song by typing in some of the lyrics - possible?

I've got a song from the early 80's going around in my head, but if I type in some of the lines I know to the internet I don't get anything.

Does anyone know of any sites that might be useful?

Thanks.

google is the best bet I find. you need to put " " around the lyrics you are sure of though. been around the world as a search would return loads of sites but a search of ("been around the world" lyrics) would give you a far better chance of finding the song.

Write a few lines down and see if we can "name that tune" for you.

Google technique didn't work, but thanks.

OK, something like this....

"I can't believe it's over,
I can't believe we're through,
Something something something
I don't believe it's true"

then there's a bit something like this....

"I've seen you out walking,
with her in your arms"

It's more the tune I have in my head rather than the lyrics - I bet if someone could hear me hum it they'd be able to tell me what it is!

(by the way, it's a really corny song, so I feel quite embarrassed posting this!!)

try www.letssingit.com

You can do a lyrics search BUT be very careful as this site has a lot of pop ups and they may not be work safe.

Artist: Funk Masters

Song: It's Over


IT'S OVER

Ooh, I can't believe it's over
Ooh, it's over

(CHORUS
I can't believe it's over, I can't believe we're through
I can't believe it's over, I don't believe it's true
I can't believe it's over, I can't believe we're through
I can't believe it's over, I don't believe it's true

As time goes by I never see you as much as I did
When you lived around the corner
Too many times you made the plunder by tellin' me
You'll be with me through rain and thunder

As time went by, I wanted to cry
'Cause in the end you left for my best friend

(CHORUS)

Sometimes I see you are walkin' with her in your arms
Hand in hand, I see you talkin'
Whispers in her ear sweet nothings, is all you're sayin'
I don't mind because it's over

As time went by, I wanted to cry
'Cause in the end you left for my best friend

(CHORUS)

Tell me the truth and I'll take it like a man
Is it over between us, make me understand
I smile to cover the pain which is isn't the same
I just try to be bald, but baby it's over

I'm not a little girl anymore, you used to be the one I adore
But there's plenty more fish in the sea for me
Plenty more fish in the sea for me

(CHORUS x2)
