sounds good at first, but the original just can't be beaten and at the end she sings way too quick, ruining the whole song. you gotta sing quick at the end, but in rhythm...
i think this is a very good cover and i have to remind people that covers aren't always meant to be the same. Also cross genre covers have been around since Pop, R&B and Country and Western all sat down and decided to have a baby that they named Rock n Roll. Popular R&b songs came from C&W and popular C&w songs came from Pop. It's a circle of life. Let's put our differences aside.
don't worry i know. it's about the girl, Eileen who was a songwriter and band member Kevin Rowland who she grew up with.Their relationship became romantic when the pair were 13. The song is talking about love and lust. but i just was dedicating this to my friends becasue it just reminded me of them.
I used to listen to this in high school. Bringing back some memories. Great version.

Seems like you got the lyrics from the original song. This one has slightly different lyrics at some points. Nice upload though.
