I love this song, I always have, since I was a kid. I love the guitar line. I use 2 do it on my guitar 2 the song. 1 of the best on the "Dirty Mind" album. The lyrics R great aswell. "I used 2 let U wear all my clothes", I still sorta laugh at that part. Cuz it's true, U let Ur girl borrow Ur clothes. " She didn't have the decency 2 even change the sheets". Fantastic song. thumbs up!

I love that song....great lyrics most people can relate to and yet still a personal song, great music, fantastic live versions...my favorite being the one from August 1983 ( First Ave), even though it´s a very short version.

That little pop he does..."You were all I ever wanted to POP do!....."

It's a great song, and the keyboard solo is one of the best.

Also, legend has it that he was inspired to write this song after listening to The Beatles. Or was it John Lennon? confuse
