This song was originally intended for Roy Orbison. And he recorded it - first!!!!!!!! So, I guess this should be on Totally Covered?
I didn't put it there. I put it here. I did that for two reasons.
First, this version was released first, by several years. It was a big hit for Cyndi Lauper in 1989, and it was written by frequent songwriting partners Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg.
Second, it's so lyrically brilliant that it warrants the higher visibilty that this blog brings. I know people are going to read this here. And, it's lyrically brilliant, if I wasn't clear. Because it illustrates the desperation of love - what someone in love might actually do. We've all been there.
