Beautiful song. Even though it wasn't a big hit it seems to have endured as a classic. It means a lot to people.

I think the word for this is 'lovely'. Really nice song.

Gorgeous song. I remember running straight to the record store to buy "Lovers Rock" after I saw the video for this on TV.

As everyone else has said it is a lovely song. I knew "Smooth Operator" from my parents and later found out "No Ordinary Love" was also her. By the end of '07 I ended up buying all of her albums used.

I think the word for this is 'lovely'. Really nice song. Agreed. And it holds up very well. I think this will sound just as good as it does now decades down the line.

Another song that deserved so much better. The song was a hit in Miami though.

The song bored me, but the video was nice. They have had much better songs.

I <3d this song and still do. I remember trying to catch its video on VH1 all the time. The video and the song are beautiful.

I had no idea this wasn't a big hit, it was on ALL the time here in LA. This is one of my favorite songs, period. I still love it to this day.

Yup. Also, I think I like the Neptunes remix a bit more than the original.

This song is so much more well-known than its chart history suggests. It peaked at #75 on the Hot 100, #41 R&B, and #18 Adult Contemporary. It's probably one of their better known songs at this point despite not initially being a hit.
I enjoy it, but it's not one of my favorites by them. I feel like it's a lot more sappy than their earlier material. In general, I prefer their 80s and 90s material over their past couple of albums. The past couple have veered a bit more in the soft rock direction than their 80s/90s smooth jazz/R&B sound.

I still love this. In recent years, I have grown to love the Junior Vasquez mix. It was originally a private mix. Him and Frederick Jorio made this using the album version because Sade are notorious for not allowing official Dance mixes of their songs and he wanted a mix to play on his dancefloor. It is funny because this was one of their first and singles to have an official package of mixes including a couple downtempo and uptempo mixes. soundcloud.com/m-hero/sade-by-your-side-junior

It's one of the only 2 songs I like from this album.

Love the original and The Neptunes Remix was was a great transition and probably one of the best Neptunes Remixes ever. It captures the complete essence of both.

This song is like a warm f**king blanket. So pretty. Love the lyrics and her vocal is sublime.

Pretty is definitely the right word, and I've heard this quite regularly for a long time now. They have a number of other singles I love more.
