80s song... but you're going to hate me for this!
All I remember is the lyric: "whoa OH oh oh". I only heard a male voice(s). It's definitely 80s because it was on an 80s only music station (played at someone's house, not sure what station so I can't look it up). It's a little slow and sad sounding and has a Tears for Fears kind of vibe. The "whoa's" take up a lot of the entire song - like whoa OH (upper note) oh oh (all drawn out, 2 beats each) and it sounds echoed or layered. Before that were six syllables that go up and come down. I know it's *very* little to go by, but it was so nice I had to ask. It sounded like a very simple 2/4 or 4/4 song.
It's not Tarzan Boy and it's not Things Can Only Get Better... hmm.

Okay, here's my very last try. I came across a song today which is very similar to "You're The Voice" also with lots of Whoa's. It's called "Man With A Vision" by the band Seven. Even the lead voice sounds like John Parr's one. Imho he lent his voice to the singer, since Parr produced and co-wrote the song (and indeed 1 year later he recorded the song under his own name).
Seven - Man With A Vision

I have been looking for this song too. I believe you are asking for Tarzan Boy, by Baltimora. Great song!

It's not an 80's song, but Swingtown by The Steve Miller Band would be worth a shot:
