Like That
Mr. & Ms. Pakman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to let it go you bring me right back
Should I let it go or should I fight back
Should I let it go or should I fight back
Should I fight back
Tried to keep it simple
Ignoring all the signals
Answer all your riddles
And now
You're acting shady
You're acting crazy
You were my lady
You were my baby
After reflection
It's a new direction
I learned my lesson
But I still got a question
Why you like that
Try to let it go you bring me right back
Should I let it go or should I fight back
Should I let it go or should I fight back
Should I fight back

Eddie Miller
So chronologically, if Super Bowl I was in 1966, then Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man were married in 1982.
Andrew Ambrose
Eddie Miller that’s right! Super bowl 16 was actually in January 1982!
No Name
And "Physical" was the #1 song during January 1982. It was wrapping up its then record-setting 10-week run at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts that month.
