      It`s the words to this song that hit me to my core when this song came out. I had feelings for a girl and she knew i was a good guy. But she chose the other guy in which he broke her heart. But my heart was broken by her, and she wanted me and i couldnt see myself with her after the fact. Like the song said Give me the reason to want you back. I remember this song in the summer of 1986, I was 16 years old about to be 17 lol. Music was so good for me during the 60`s, 70`s ,80`s, and 90`s ( The soundtrack to my life.). All I listen to is old school music. So I agree Nina, Luther was magnificent.
