If The L Word were still on, this version would be the theme Song to Shane and Jenny's self-destructive Romance because Jenny's mentally ill and crazy behavior might drove Shane away and might cause her to act crazy in a psychotic way lol :)
@TheMindskinner This was the first version I heard of this song. I thought it belonged to Chrissy, she does it so naturally. But I've since learned it's a much older song. I've checked out the older, and newer, versions, but I still love Chrissy's version best!
Chrissie Hynde set the bar higher for singers. The only link to her (especially when she's doing the ballads) is Dusty. They BROKE the mold after her. Today's pop stars are all about costume changes and dance moves....
This group stole the name the Pretenders after the original Pretenders group broke up. The original Pretenders started in the late 60's and re-assemble in the early 70s with a new female singer who recorded with them for seven years. I know the whole history because I was with them when they recorded their hits on Carnival Records. Go listen to Hearts Were Made To Love, I'm The One Love Forgot, I Call It Love...all recorded by the original Pretenders.

to the 2 people who dislike this get off youtube you don't know anything about music go play your shit and leave the good stuff alone in short ,go fuck yourself.
I love the Pretenders, but the Persuaders version is my favorite. I love how it strikes the perfect balance of black humor... it's really unique. I like to hear the reggae version!
I love the Pretenders and while this is a great cover, I like the original more. It's just hard to top the original, it's got something that just hits me... right there.
this song brings back good and bad memories,i dedicated it to a guy i shared a house with in attadale( R.H.E) i loved him so much but we didnt seem to get it together to well and every time i hear it it hurts a little,but what a powerful voice she has and she sings it with such passion,no one could do it better . . .P.R
Peruaders did the original, But This version, you cant touch it, Chris's voice,well it sings for itself, A song about physical abuse...very emotional for me....really resonates in my soul...
Que hermosa cancion , que dice que hay una linea delgada entre el amor y el odio, es de la mejor de the pretenders, de ehcho compre el disco solo por esa cancion. gracias por poner este video...saludos desde mexico
@elchicano2010 Estoy en acuerdo contigo, este cancion trais lagrimas a mis ojos, el cancion de abuso, y me affecta mucho....yo siento todo que has tenido abuso en sus vidas, Solamente el Senor puedes sanar nos, Amen...........
a few months ago, my dad and i went through his old albums because i looove record players & listened to alot of them . this is one of the songs he had me listen to. i fell in love with it (:
I totally love the live performance of this song by far. You can tell they honed it in - in this studio setting. An exceptional ballsy heartful cover.
I heard this cover first before hearing the original because my mum told me that it was cover when this came on the MTV back in 1984. And then I heard the original from my mums 45 collection. Love this cover, Chrissie Hynde sho can sang, now!
