The first song is:

Artist: Walter Egan

Song: Magnet And Steel

Year: 1978


Magnet and Steel

Ooh, ooh, ah
Now, I told you so you ought to know (ooh,ooh,ah)
It takes some time for a feeling to grow (ooh,ooh,ah)
You're so close now I can't let you go (ooh,ooh,ah)
And I can't let go
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel

I can't hope that I'll hold you for long (ooh,ooh,ah)
You're a woman who's lost in your song (ooh,ooh,ah)
But the love that I feel is so strong (ooh,ooh,ah)
And it can't be wrong
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel



With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel


Regarding Song #2

Need more details...Male or Female singer...modern song or song from 70s or 80s. The words "I want to know" could be "I wanna know" When is the first time you heard this song? what year? What did the singers voice sound like? For example, African American or White person etc. High pitch like Pat Benatar or low pitch like Lou Rawls. Was the dance song Freestyle, Funk or Rap?

Just as a wild guess incase you misheard the lyrics

Whitney Houston - How Will I know (Remix version)

or could it be a dance version of Foreigners "I Want To Know What Love Is"


Wynonna Judd - I Want To Know What Love Is

http://www.content.loudeye.com/scripts/hurl.exe?clipid=066031401060006900&cid=600111

Wyonna's Hit Remix "I Want To Know What Love Is" Is The Highest New Entry On Billboards's Dance Radio Chart

Could #2 be by Information Society?  Here's a link...

The lyrics go "I wanna know what you're thinking, is there something on your mind"

Kandi has a song called I Wanna Know.  But I don't know if it's 90's.

I'll bite on a long-shot possibility for #2:  Jesus Jones, "Info Freako" - 1989

(Assorted voice samples in French, English, grindy stun-guitar effects)

You know that sleep is getting hard to get
'Cause you never know what you'll forget
And I've got to know of all the news
'Cause one day there'll be news for meeee... Yeah!

I never pass a headline by
'Cause every one will catch my eye
And though it's tough to keep alert
You never know what could hurt meeeee... Yeah!

(CHORUS)
But it gets me down, you know it gets me down
It really gets me down, yeah, gets me down
Info Freako!
There is no end to what I want to know(owowow)... whoa-whoa-oh, yeah!

There's what you feel
And what you know
And it wasn't all that long ago
I found that Info Freako thing
Now nothing ever gets to me... Yeah!

But it gets me down... (chorus)
Info Freako...

And it means I'll have the edge over you
And it means I'll always have the edge (over you!)
And you know there is nothing that you can do

Info Freako!
There is no end to what I want to know...
