80s pop/rock classic of the day: "Cuts Like A Knife" by Bryan Adams (1983)---does Vanity appear in the video?

In the early summer of 1983,Bryan Adams was on top with "Cuts Like A Knife",a wonderful midtempo rocker.I heard this song a few days ago,while I was at the Hertz Rental Car place in Chicago...lol....i said "when I get back to the Org,I'm gonna start a thread about it".I had forgotten how much I love this song! Does anybody remember the video? When I first saw it,I thought the girl in it looks ALOT like Vanity.She's wearing a black bikini,looking sexy as hell,preparing to take a dive.At one point,she does a "bored/is that it?-Wake-me-when-you're-done" smirk that reminds me so much of Vanity,does anyone know if it was her?? LOL.In any case,I gotta go out and get me a good Bryan Adams compilation because I like many of his other hits too ("Run To You","Heaven" and even (don't laugh) "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)".Any other fans?


"Cuts Like A Knife" by Bryan Adams


Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
way beyond the shadow of a doubt
Then I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well,who is he baby---who is he
and tell me what he means to you

I took it all for granted
but how was I to know
that you'd be letting go

(chorus)
Now it cuts like a knife
but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
but it feels so right

There's times I've been mistaken
there's times I thought I'd been misunderstood
But wait a minute,darlin
Can't you see we did the best we could

This wouldn't be the first time
things have gone astray
now you've thrown it all away

(chorus)
Now it cuts like a knife
but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
but it feels so right


I took it all for granted
but how was I to know
that you'd be letting go


Repeat chorus

Is this the one with the empty swimming pool video? If so, I believe it's Apples who's in that video.

No. The girl in the empty pool is fine as hell, but it's not Vanity.

I don't remember seeing Vanity in it, but Appolonia was in Eddie Money's "Shakin" video.

It had to happen sooner or later.
We part company on this one and i've gotta side with DavidEye. highfive

I'm not into all his stuff, but the pop/rock side of me has always dug these Bryan Adams tunes:

Cuts Like A Knife
Run To You
This Time
Heat Of The Night
Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?

It's Only Love (with Tina, come on)

Maybe it's a guitar player thing. guitar

The videos?

Oh crap, maybe that's what I was thinking of. Wasn't Apples in the Bryan Adams video too?
