1st time I ever heard this song. Such FeelingI love it. I konw exactly how it feels to loose the one you live. It happened to me 20 years ago. I still miss here every day. This just a simple guy who believed in one life and one love. Oh well
She should have been much bigger. Loved her work with Art Garfunkel and thought she would be big as a solo. Still, love her work that we have access to.
Was this released as a single? Sounds like it could have been a soft rock hit on the radio back in the day. She looks and sounds like her legendary sister Mama Cass.
@@planetfox2266 It is such an unnatural title, obviously no one wants to watch anyone cry nor be watched crying over a lost love. Either such self pity or cynicism are simply cringe worthy. A better title would have been "Leave Me Alone, Leave Me Alone"... I just wanna cry. Cliche, but at least believable. That said, Leah is such a remarkable singer (along with a great melody) she makes the pathetic conceit of the song almost believable.
There is such a thing as Irony, however maudlin. Leah was apparently the tragic subject of James Taylor's Her Town. That brilliant, relatable, moving song invites real tears.
@@planetfox2266 Thanks. I'll check it out. I love sad songs; I have every Joan Baez album, Queen of Tragedy, it's just that this song sounds so great, but that title just grates.

It was released as a single and it did receive some commercial airplay, around 1981. That's when I first heard it.

thank you for sharing. arigato!
She does sound much like Cass but Cass’s voice was lower. Didn’t know her sister sang until someone mentioned it in a comment on a video about Cass.
Do you have a copy of Leah's cover of I've Gotta Get A Message To You?
That Steve Lukather guitar solo is mixed *comically* loud.
That was Luke. He always likes it loud.
She's a great singer, dumb lyrics.
i feel like she is facetiously inviting the listener to gape at her broken rock wife life.
