@EastNewYorkPolyglot My thoughts exactly. This song came to mind for me just recently, when I had to bring what we had to an end. We weren't necessarily in an relationship, but for what it was, this song fit the situation.
Before music got real bad, sometime in the late 80's, I loved this song by Jermaine and it's my favorite by him as a solo artist but oh, can't forget about "I Found That Girl."
like food, don't take it personal, judgement is just THAT personal this song means a lot to many who purchased the albums and followed the saga of a family or nothing but pure unadulterated genius, the ones who rose and those who didn't have everything to do with family dynamics. Jermaine stands his own like food everyone doesn't love anchovies or mushroom.
Jermaine's not my "Fave 5", but I've always liked this song the best of his post-J5 solo songs. He needs to focus on his own groove, not remaking his brothers' songs he wasn't involved in (Blame It On The Boogie).
@UrlsGrrl54 Blame it on the boogie is very fresh and sound really good. I like it better than the original. Jermaine can sing what the hell he wants. he wasn't on the original so it's good that he does it. I hope he covers all the rest of the jackson songs., he is a Jackson after all.
@Nickleby2 You must be joking, LOL! "Better than the original", "he's a Jackson", "I hope he covers all the rest of the Jackson songs" ; obvious statements from one that is obviously of the entitlement mindset. What about creating your OWN new songs, not riding the backs of others? Being related to someone more successful doesn't entitle people to the rewards of hard work done by others. That is not only an insult to The Jacksons (group), it's an insult to Jermaine, too. Who's next? Janet?
You are very ignorant, arguing over brothers sharing songs. This song was written by a BRITISH song writer called MIKE JACKSON. He first made a hit with the song, the Jackson brothers heard it they asked if they could record it. SO The song was never a Jackson song in the first place. Since the Jacksons recorded it, TONS of artist have recorded the song. SO why theprotest because Jermaine records it. Many artist records each others songs Jermaine records family's. How childish!!!!!
i heard this song after leaving a wedding. I left with my family back home thinking about a girl who knocked me off my heels. This song will forever inprint that feeling I had looking out the back seat window into the city lights during after midnight.
love a lot of JJ's songs. I thing MJ's star just overshadowed his. He really did put out some good songs. I agree that this one of those "it's not you, it's me" type songs. Love it tho.
@UTubeViwer84 I had to go back to read my comment! Yes, I know of Plies sampling Janet's song! I was just saying that Jermaine let women down a little easier than Plies does!
This song made me believe that Jermaine was capable of sustaining a long, successful solo career. I guess it's not easy living in the shadow of your younger brother when he happens to be the greatest entertainer in recorded history...
Great song but I have to agree with DraggAddams about the song's message. I remember a lot of guys in my area adopting the song's message to heart. This song became their model for bedding, dumping girls all in the name of friendship without guilt or being labeled a dog.
Nice song but is a fowl message banging a girl then telling her not to take it personal, then on top of that giving her a pep talk by saying, you have your life ahead of you someone else would appreciate you more than I lets just be friends, WOW
@ahsdhhsffsfsddsf You decided that there was too much grease! I think this particular hairstyle is fine. I prefer it to the gelled up stringy hair that was all the rage back then. I really like it compared to the buzzed up baldness! Just how much mouse does a person need?
you should not concentrate on mj being da more popular one,...i mean you are listening to his music right?....at da end of the day, jermaine had his own folowing...you and i both know that : )
