I have always loved this gem. Man I used to spin this quite a bit in 1986 during it's run on AT40. I was disappointed to see that it peaked at #22. But the good news is that it reached #14 on R&R CHR charts. This is one of the songs that you know is a "Van Halen". When Sammy Haggar sang lead, I felt like he put his heart and soul into every song that recorded with the band. At first as sceptical of the personnel change when David Lee Roth departed from the band.

Great song. Probably my second favorite VH tune (after "Why Can't This Be Love").

1984 , 5150 and OU812 were their worst releases. This was one of the few tolerable (good) tracks from that era.

One of their most underrated songs. Should've done much better than it did.

This is my favorite Van Halen song. Jack FM has been playing it quite a bit in recent months and I didn't realize just how good that song was until they started playing it.

I love this now.
Sammy's vocal makes this song.

I know in rock circles it's sacrilege to say, but I prefer VH during the Hagar years. This is a gem, but so are "Why Can't This Be Love," "Finish What Ya Started," "Dreams," "When It's Love," etc.
