    Lyrics:
    Ooh, short and sweet
    No sense in draggin' on past our needs
    Let's don't keep it hangin' on
    If the fire's out, we should both be gone
    Some people are made for each other
    Some people are made for another for life, how 'bout us?
    Some people can hold it together
    Last through all kinds of weather, tell me, can we?

    My husband who has sadly passed away in January this year use to play this song when we were teenagers aged 16 and 17 in the 80's. " Some people are made for each other,, how about us" And we've made it for 34 years until he passed on this year. This song will be forever embedded in my memories of him.

      CONGRATULATIONS both, one in heaven waiting for you friend. Well done. That takes real LOVE and it is so much a matter of giving isn’t it. I feel like you about the song, no one has written a song exactly )of course not!) as beautiful as this. Every song has its own beauty and that’s why I do not compare it as the decades have passed the style of songwriting has changed. So many I love yet ‘How bout Us’ really is fixed in my heart. So happy you wrote this note because it matters, especially to me. I had a bad accident so even though I am a musician my life is much more involved with listening to music now, still wonderful. I am so appreciative of your notices and info about what this means to you. Thank you x💕

    The perfect romantic song on Valentine's Day 💘. One of the great contemporary songs I've ever listened to, Champaign was the most exciting groups in the early 80s

    One of the more mature adult relationship songs you will ever hear. Anyone in a relationship may have experienced coming upon a crossroad point. Timeless

      My wife and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary yesterday. This song was an inspiration and a challenge to me from the first time I heard it.

    It’s funny how so much of today’s music makes me appreciate this era, actually any era besides today’s version of music!
