The lead single of Jermaine Stewart's album of the same name released in 1987. Reached #27 on the Hot 100, #15 on R&B, and it was a top 10 hit all over Europe pretty much.
I just adore this song. ADORE it. It would be in my top 20 songs of the whole 80's decade. Whenever it comes on it makes me smile. I love the instrumentation -- the percussion and trumpets make it so catchy to me! -- and the lyrics are so cute. His vocal performance was nice too. God rest his soul.

My second favorite by him behind "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off," easily.
It was actually recorded several times before he had a hit with his version, originally by Shawn Christopher who would go on to have a successful career as a house act in the 90's.

Love this song!
Great to know Shawn Christopher recorded a version. It was written by Bunny Sigler who wrote a lot of stuff for Patti LaBelle and a bunch of other "Philly Sound" songs.
