I... am in love with this song. I think it's one of Aaliyah's best, up there with "One In A Million", "Rock the Boat", and "Miss You". And of of the best songs of that period of the 90's. I never get tired of this song. What do you all think?

I think the song is your average, mediocre R&B remake. Definitely cannot touch the original.

It's a snoozer.
That's why everyone slept on it. HA!

Not one of my favorites from her. IMO, it doesnt compare at all to "One In A Million" or "More Than A Woman"

dumb.
it was so far from having people sleep on it, it still ranks as one of her biggest hits:
Hot 100 #6 BB R&B #2 Rhythmic #2
Not slept on. Great song.

I don't know. I feel really sad when I hear this song especially now that she has passed. The way she sung it was so angelic to me and it so sad to hear that voice silenced forever.

It's all about the Gangster Child Remix on this one folks! I never did care much for the original. It drove me crazy that it wasn't on the album or on I Care 4 U. I recently found a MPEG of the video. What a hot song!
Peace, Ben

Agreed. The original version was Doo-Doo. But the remix was hot!

I'm surprised I didn't respond to it @ first.
This is boring. I really loved it the first few times I listened to it, but those times were enough. I don't think I've heard it since "I Care 4 U" (the album) came out and this was tagged on at the end or whatever.

In my opinion, one of the sweetest songs ever...
I know that it's a cover song (from Isley Brothers i think), but i prefer Aaliyah's version for many personal reasons and because she's so sweet in this song... One of my favourite songs of all time... :)
What you think of it ? ;)

I prefer Aaliyah's version as well, but not the album version -- that one sux. Only the R. Kelly remix with the hot beats really does it for me. Check video here. She's about 14.

This is my favourite Aaliyah song. A great cover of the Isley Brothers tune.

Beautiful remake. I prefer the album version as well although I do enjoy the remake too.
I agree the lyrics are very sweet and Aaliyah potrayed such an innocence with her voice that I can't help but rate this as one of my top five favorite love songs of all time.

I would argue that this has become her signature song. Most people don't even know it was a remake; they associate it with her.

The Gangsta Child remix is my favorite version of the song. The original album version is pretty nice too.
