Songs that begin with a question...

Or jumping back a few decades, the Theme from 'Love Story':
Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be?

RGMike:
I thought I'd pick a year and see how many charted hits I could find that start with questions. This is 1969 (see how many you can ID):
"Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?"
"Have I ever told you how good it feels to hold you?"
"Why do you build me up Buttercup, baby, just to let me down?"
"If you had a choice of colors, which one would you choose, my brothers?"
"How can people be so heartless?"
"What do you get when you fall in love?"

Speaking of 1982...
