I remember i had a crush on this guy i knew for years and we became good friends. He knew i liked him alot but he didn't feel the same. He wrote this song in words in a letter and i still have that letter.
Great song and beautifully sung in the video with so much class and style. I love James and could appreciate a guy singing this to me so tenderly. I think I'd rather have him just playing the piano privately, instead of singing to me in front of a full orchestra. Ouch!!! Lol!
i sang this song everyday thru college.... everyday i put this in my budA Kahn walkman.... a cassette tape.... id walk all the way to class singing this beautiful song... people would just stand and listen to me..... love to you james Ingram you helped me thru a life of trial and tribulation ..... thank you.... peace bratha
after everthing I dont think I have the heart anymore.I love people for who they are but I dont think after all of this I have the heart to love anymore .I have given all I can give.
LOL The chick he's singing to isn't listening to the words is she? He's saying he can't love her like she wants him to and she's just a grinnin' from ear to ear lol
I think most people think this is an "I love you" song, but really it's a "I care about you, but I'm NOT in love with you" song lol.
@seroquelz Yeah, it's a good song, but people really need to listen to all of the lyrics and not just a line or two. This is definitely not a song that you dedicate or sing to someone that you really love.
There Was A Girl That I Knew At Age 13. We Fell In Love And I Left For The Military She Couldnt Follow. Now I am 22 And I Recieved A Message The Other Day That She Has Cancer And Is Dying. I Ask That People Pray For Her It Is Killing Me Inside That I Cant Be There To See Something So Beautiful Leave This World Well Before She Should. I Love You Brittany And I Always Will No Matter Where I Go Or What I May Do You Are Always On My Mind.
James Ingram is by far one of the greatest male vocalists of our time. His music range and vocal reach place him beyond the troposphere where very few are in sound. In my opinion, only Ingram and Jeffrey Osborne hit the vocal mark on this level. That classic stylistic howl and his elongated pausing and the stretch of his words at the end of his music is Ingram’s classic signature. There's No Easy Way (to break somebody's heart) and his work with Patti Austin is some of his best!
I shared this song with a woman I once dated, I liked, I cared about but was not in love with. It was a graceful exit from our relationship that ended with mutual respect.
@lightbulb3316 same here. i went to the movies with him but he didn't catch my interest, my mom kept insisting for me to go on a date with him. i was 16 but now i'm 22
although I don't like getting older, I am so glad that my teenage years are with songs like this... great music.. today's music won't be remembered in 10 or 20 yrs. like this music.
Honest,but hurtful.A wonderful vocalist. I once faced up to this situation and after so many years,I still love the person.Love un-returned is something that happens to many.He is happy so that makes a difference to me.
pasan lo años y me sigue encantando escuchar la maravillosa voz y las interpretaciones de este artista, la fuerza de su voz y su gran personalidad me deleitan, Dios lo bendiga y me encantaria verlo en mi pais.
I love this song. I never knew who sang it. James Ingram is awesome. You can't compare Jon Legend to this man... Jon Legend got nothing. HIs song sucks and his voice is terrible.
This was a beautiful song! I remember recording it onto a tape straight off the radio cause i liked it so much! Played it over and over! Great Artist he is!
Just curious to know, was the video for this song filmed in the U.K.? Looks like a Double Decker bus in the background, the kind you commonly see in the U.K.
@lordmagisto .. but at least he told her that he doens.t has the the heart to hurt.her .. some guyz don.t even tell they just have sex with u and bye bye....
Reminds me of when I caught my girlfriend, at least I thought she was my girlfriend, in the cooler at work with my friend. I should have known since she never declared that we were together and made excuses to break dates. I was young and out of high school only for a few years and could not see the forest for the trees. This song ripped me into pieces because she was soooo fine and pretty. I thought I had her in the palm of my hand. Ha! My palm was greasy and she slipped through my hand.
@xPH3N0Mx ......hi xPH3N0Mx....as for the Guitarist, great question. In looking up the credits for this album on James Ingrams wiki page, the guitarist is listed as Paul Jackson Jr. However, I am fairly convinced that it is Snowy White, a one time member of the Irish rock band, Thin Lizzy and also, Pink Floyds touring guitarist back in the late 1970's.
@dixonite Thanks for the info. The guitarist (gold guitar, doing the killer riffs at 4:08) is white, and the search results for Paul Jackson brought up a black guy, so definitely not him lol. Going by the pics I found in search results, it looks like Snowy White is indeed the guy's name. Thanks again ;)

I like it when James says, "I don't have the heart" at 3:48. It sounds so cool. When I see my woman I say it exactly the same way. Thanks for posting.
First there was the soft rock classics "Just Once" and "One Hundred Ways" (released on Quincy Jones' 1981 album "The Dude"), then the 1982 smash ballad "Baby, Come To Me" (a duet with Patti Austin that hit #1 in early 1983), then the 1987 hit ballad "Somewhere Out There" (a duet with Linda Ronstadt that peaked at #2 on the pop singles chart) and then this classic storm ballad that hit #1 in late 1990 (though it was first released on his album "It's Real" in 1989).
OMG! Ths was back when music was made of REAL instruments not sounds from a computer.........it still gives me goosebumps.....yunno love songs without sex & drugs.
