This is my favorite Roxette song. It's about missing someone you really care about. I'm sorry it didn't do better on the charts.  |

This was a pretty good song, but it didn't hold a candle to "Joyride".

Love this song. The first two singles from "Joyride" were superior though. Sadly, I'll always remember "Spending My Time" as the song that marked an end to Roxette's success in the US. After "Joyride" and "Fading Like A Flower" did so well, this missed the top 10 and every subsequent Roxette single did as well.

This has some of the saddest lyrics i've heard on a pop record....
"I tried to call, but i don't know what to tell you, I left a kiss on your answering machine"

I really like this. "Joyride" was a really strong album.

All of the singles before this were better but I still like this track quite a bit.

This song was there during the SoundScan transition and didn't quite perform as well as it could have, had Billboard still been using the old system.

This song is one of Roxette's most played on last.fm, much moreso than some of their bigger hits like Dangerous and Fading Like A Flower. I guess it's one of those songs that really affected people even though it wasn't a huge hit.
