Riff Off like in Pitch Perfect

Anyone seen Pitch Perfect?
I got the idea of this by watching it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asoTqeUkIEY

The idea is to make your own Riff Off where you start writing the lyrics of a song and when you reach a word that is in another song, you switch to that one.
Also, so people know when you switch songs, put the word that is in both songs in bold and repeat it on the next line.
Like this:

Let's talk about sex baby
Baby one more time, my loneliness is killing
Killing me softly with his song, telling my life with his words
Words are all I have to take your heart away.

In this example, I used the songs:
Lets talk about sex - Salt 'n Pepa
Baby... one more time - Britney Spears
Killing me softly - Roberta Flack
Words - Boyzone

Since it is impossible to "interrupt" someone in mid-post like they effectively did in Pitch Perfect, you'll have to riff off by yourself until you get stuck!

Rules:
Try to limit your riff off to 15 lines maximum so you don't make your posts too long.
Avoid using songs with swearing unless the swearing isn't in the part you use.
Don't switch songs using similar words. (like ending one line with "it" and then using "it's" on the next line, this is how the Barden Bellas lost!)
Make a list of the songs you used so people don't end up asking.
Unlike in Pitch Perfect, you don't have to continue on from where the last person left off if you don't want to, although you are more than welcome to try it to add to the challenge!

So what can you come up with?

Wolstenholme

Feeling like a loser, feeling like a bum, sitting on the outside
Outside, is there anyone out there
There's and angel standing in the Sun
Sun in your eyes and on your own
Own pretending he's beside me, all alone
Alone, and it's cold out here, maybe you should know,

Marina and the Diamonds - The Outsider
Duran Duran - Is There Anyone Out There?
Genesis - Los Endos
Keane - Bedshaped
Samantha Barks (Les Mis Cast) - On my own.
Anastasia - Left Outside Alone

((I could go on all day but I'll leave it there.))

I'll start another one

It's my life, Its now or never, I ain't gonna live forever
Forever be true and I know, although times will be hard we will see it through
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
On a prayer, take my hand and we'll make it
It doesn't even matter, I had to fall to lose it all
All that she wants is another baby, she's gone
Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his Mom
Mom that will last forever, I want a mom that will make it all better

It's my life - Bon Jovi
Forever in love - A1
Through the fire and the flames - Dragonforce
Livin' on a prayer - Bon Jovi
In the end - Linkin Park
All that she wants - Ace of Base
Gone - Switchfoot
I want a Mom - Cyndi Lauper

Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it
It was never supposed to end up this way, what do I have to do
Do what you what you want if you had a dream for better
Better of dead, and now you can see
See the lights, see the party
Party in the U.S.A, get to the club
Club with his sights on, 87 pairs of jeans and a fresh
Fresh and there were dice in the mirror
Mirror and what do I see, a lonely
Lonely day, and it's mine, the most lonliest day of my
My world, never wore cover up, always beat the boys up
Up your tie, get down from your treehouse sitting in the sky
Sky, You're a shooting star I see a
A warm embrace, to make you feel my love
