From a first single in 1979, the group successfully combined a pop rock and power pop (and sometimes, a blues rock) influenced backing with harmony side-vocals and Lewis' strident voice, and the band had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s. These include "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World" as well.

Stuck With You
Huey Lewis & The News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
(Ooh, wa-ooh) We've had our doubts
We never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs (ooh, wa-ooh)
But that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up (giving up)
But we could never stay away
(Ooh, wa-ooh) We thought about breaking up
But now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery (ooh)
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
We are bound by all the rest (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
(Ooh, yes, it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) I'm happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) Happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, yes, it's true)

A Gumb - play dominoes
Checkers
Chess
Softball
Plant a garden
Work hard
Sleep with a heat stone wrapped up in a towel by your feet.
Pick potatoes.
Have family hugs & prayers.
Tack a quilt with Grammie.
Sing around the piano.
My grandfather was one of 10 boys and 4 girls. In the 1800- early
1900 times.
People wrote letters and mailed them with a
2 cent stamp .
There.! Real life!
