  • This song reminds me of a girl I love so much - but she doesn't want to be with me. She broke my heart so badly and then ate the pieces.

  • OMG {Tears} so where I am tonight!

  • Melissa's "I need you" does me in. I feel all of this thing. She is beautiful in every way. God bless her.

  • love this song

  • That woman gives me goosebumps over and over again, Melissa is one true rock singer with a voice to die for. Fantastic version, Keisha's is a little too fast and more for the R'n'B fans.

  • I have to agree with 'Italianboi'..keisha white's version is MUCH MUCH better...:)

  • This song is currently my life. I am in love with somone who has someone else and I think I'm the one that causes the weakness.

  • I have to weigh in on this one. It really is a great song. Like many others I came to this having heard it on 'The L Word' but why do we have to put up with Melissa butchering it? She's done some great stuff as an artist but really, this is like a poor high school glee club concert. Long pauses and tortured head shakes do not add pathos, just melodrama. Leave it to the original Joan Armatrading version

  • So this is a cover? I am not familiar with its original version. (and I've been around the block, 3 times maybe 4) Who performed it? Who wrote it? Heck, I just wanted to say thank you to Melissa for composing the poignant words that I've not been able to find. So who did write this song? Is it new or old? ~E

  • this versions good, but i prefer joan armatradings version, thanks anyway =]

  • This song makes my heart cry rivers. Melissa has soutch a fealing in her voice... I don't know if it's just good acting or if she aktully fell like this, but my oh my... it still makes my heart cry.

    She lookes so good behinde that piano, she should play more piano!

  • i love this song

  • keishas version is much better!!!

    but this version isnt that bad..it is something else

  • even it is from Joan she is singing it so good even it is a sad song I still like it even it makes me cry sometimes

  • for G

  • yeah the keisha version is definitely a gazillion times better

  • Does anyone have a piano sheet for this? I would really like to learn how to play it but can't find it anywhere. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • Does anyone have a piano sheet for this? It's really beautiful and I would love to know how to play it. Please?

  • Rare to hear her sing someone elses tune. But, it is Joan Armatrading and she does have some great stuff. I give it a A+ for shit happens and you need to trust your Boo, but don't have to trust the others out there!

  • No, this is not a cuddling song. This is a real heartbreaker. I have a lover that loves me and needs me, but I have this ex that keeps calling and coming around. She does not love or need me. For some reason I think I need her. Maybe one day I will not.

  • Let them go. They just come around to mess up what you have. It's the ol' I don't want you and I don't want anyone else to either. Don't mess up your good thing, if it is what you want. My Wife almost blew it for a flake that wasn't out for nothing but wrecking our realationship.

  • your deep!! nice comment

  • keisha white version is better

  • Granted, I have not (yet) listened to Keisha White's version, but there is a studio version of this song by Ms. Etheridge that is even better than this live one. (I've always been a bit off-put with live music... don't know why)

  • please please listen to Joan armatrading if you like this song

  • this version is more relaxed but i ahve to agree that keisha whites version is better....it has more soul

  • ive heard various versions this song but this is by far the best =)

  • oh please what about the writer of the song. She's good but Joan has so many more nuances in her voice.

  • Is there a studio recording of Melissa singing this? I've heard a slightly different version here on You Tube accompanying a video about Jenny and Marina from the L Word (how jealous am I of Jenny - Marisa is gorgeous?!)

  • Artist (Joan Armatrading)

    Is The Most Popular Version

  • Look for the Ain't Nothin' But A She Thang CD (not sure if anyone answered your question); the studio version is there.

  • melissa rocks and i absolutely love her and her music. but this song definitely belongs to Joan!!!

  • spot on wolfie

  • Yes yes yes.. Melissa is awesome but no one sings this like Joan.

  • I love this song. So beautiful, so sweet, its so sad. I could always cry if i hear that song and listen to the lyric.

  • I know everyone wants to cuddle to this song, but to you guys really know what it's about? It's about a woman having an affair, but it's not just some meaningless affair, she's really in love with both people. It is a beautiful, sad song... but it really doesn't make me want to cuddle, lol...

  • oh yes I've been there, but what makes me sad is all the passion as gonna for me It was me that fell neither of them. there's karma for you
