      I don't even remember hearing that term when this song was popular on the radio, that came along in the mid Eighties when hair metal unfortunately took over the airwaves. If you listen to music from the early eighties to the mid eighties there's a huge difference.

    One of the most heart wrenching, emotion laden and iconic guitar solo riffs in rock ‘n’ roll history. You can almost feel your heart melt as the guitar riff starts at 1:56 and then 2:54

    LYRICS
    When I was younger, man, I hadn't a care
    Fooling around, hitting the town, growing my hair
    You came along, and stole my heart when you entered my life
    Ooh, babe, you got what it takes, so I made you my wife
    Since then, I never looked back
    It's almost like living a dream
    And, ooh, I love you
    You came along from far away, and found me here
    I was playing around, feeling down, and hitting the beer
    You picked me up from off the floor, and gave me a smile
    You said, "You're much too young, your life ain't begun, let's walk for a while"
    And as my head was spinning around
    I gazed into your eyes
    And thought, ooh, I want you
    Thank you, babe, for being a friend, and shining your light in my life
    'Cause, ooh, I need you
    As my head was coming round, I gazed into your eyes
    And thought, ooh, I want you
    Thanks again for being my friend, and straightening out my life
    'Cause, ooh, I need you
    Since then, I never looked back, it's almost like living a dream
    Ooh, I got you
    If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me
    And, ooh, I love you

    I’m surprised that no one really talks about this. This is the ONLY video that I’ve ever seen, spot-on vocals to the actual recording of this song. It’s amazing. Either this was the REAL RECORDING of this song.. or they perfected this live recording to match the studio recording. I’m not sure if that’s even possible. As I see it..these are live vocals coming out of their mics here. Amazing.. and Crazy.
