Back in 97 when I was 16 I bought this album for this song alone. This song and "Waiting for a Girl Like You by Foreigner, Faithfully by Journey, and Head over Heels by Tears for Fears are probably the best songs about love in the 80's in my opinion.

@BrownanDownable
many folks (and some critics) are down on 80s music 'cause of the insane overuse of synth technology, which was still new back then, but there were some great lyrical songs too, and this is one of them. Ben Orr's smooth vocal drives this song, the band's best IMOP.
