Speaking Lyrically: A song chain

Below are 12 songs whose titles form a chain, i.e., for each song pair, the last word from the first title is the same as the first word in the next title.

One point for title, one point for artist, one point for each correct song in the longest chain (up to 12 bonus points for a completed, 12-song chain).

1- Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

2- Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want to be sure

3- She's juicy and she's trouble
She gets it to me good
My woman gives me power
Goes right down to my blood

4- We get it on most every night
And when that ol' moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight

5- We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin' bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'Cause southern bells are hell at night

6- A love like ours
(A love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun

7- I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can't wait to live my life with you, I can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

8- Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If, by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air

9- I was tryin' to find my way home
But all I heard was a drone
Bouncing off a satellite
Crushin' the last lone American night

10- Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

11- Monopoly, Twenty-One, checkers and chess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess

12- Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend

Below are 12 songs whose titles form a chain, i.e., for each song pair, the last word from the first title is the same as the first word in the next title.

One point for title, one point for artist, one point for each correct song in the longest chain (up to 12 bonus points for a completed, 12-song chain).

1- Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

Waiting is the hardest part, Tom Petty

I guess Waiting is the title because the next song is Waiting for a Girl Like You.

Waiting, Tom Petty, final answer

2- Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want to be sure

Waiting for a Girl Like you, dunno artist

3- She's juicy and she's trouble
She gets it to me good
My woman gives me power
Goes right down to my blood

You should be dancing, BeeGees

4- We get it on most every night
And when that ol' moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight

Dancing in the Moonlight, dunno artist

5- We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin' bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'Cause southern bells are hell at night

Moonlight feels right, dunno artist

6- A love like ours
(A love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun

Right

7- I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can't wait to live my life with you, I can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

And there goes the chain. I concede to LB.

8- Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If, by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air

On the Radio, Donna Summer.

9- I was tryin' to find my way home
But all I heard was a drone
Bouncing off a satellite
Crushin' the last lone American night

My huckleberry friend

Moon River, Andy Williams. I wanted to say Audrey Hepburn, but I don't think she recorded it.
