Well, it is an improvement over all of the Bounce ballads. But that isn't saying much. Lyrically it is better than all about lovin' (god, kill me) you, but that doesn't mean anything as that song was the devil. But that doesn't mean the verses (the first especially) aren't wholly terrible and mumbled. Richie is a guitarist, not a rythm guitar. It's annoying to here him be misused and overlooked and bored. And the bridge doesn't really fit into the song at all. There is no guitar solo.

And even though the chorus is missing something, it is great when it hits and the lyrics there aren't terrible.

give it a 7-7.5
