    IDK why but this and other songs like these make me feel some kind of nostalgic way from growing up that memories can't touch. Music really is like its own avenue to the heart and soul and mind. Bittersweet but mesmerizing in its own way. I can't imagine not having music since it's having like a sixth sense. Words can describe it.

      YES. Even though I probably wasn't more than 10 & hadn't really been through anything in life yet when I 1st heard this, it still sent me to some sad place in the attic of my memory & still does til this day.

    I woke up and heard this song playing in the back of my mind. Haven’t heard it since I was a kid, had to Google the words like most people and see what they were saying. I follow sign and wonders so I’ll have to do some seeking to see what this is saying to me. Hope all the moms have a Blessed Mother’s Day next week.❤

    When I find myself watching the time
    I never think about all the funny things you said
    I feel like it's dead
    Where is it leading me now?
    I turn around in the still of the room
    Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move
    Can't wait any longer
    And I'm feeling stronger, but oh
    Just as I walk to the door
    I can feel your emotion
    It's pulling me back
    Back to love you
    I know, caught up in the middle
    I cry just a little
    When I think of letting go
    Oh no, gave up on the riddle
    I cry just a little
    When he plays piano in the dark
    He holds me close like a thief of the heart
    He plays a melody
    Born to tear me all apart
    The silence is broken
    And no words are spoken, but oh
    Just as I walk to the door
    I can feel your emotion
    It's pulling me back
    Back to love you
    I know, caught up in the middle
    I cry just a little
    When I think of letting go
    Oh no, gave up on the riddle
    I cry just a little
    When he plays piano in the dark
    The silence is broken
    And no words are spoken, but oh
    Just as I walk to the door
    I can feel your emotion
    Oh baby, pull me back
    Back to love you
    I know, I'm caught up in the middle
    I cry just a little
    When I think of letting go
    Oh no, gave up on the riddle
    I cry just a little
    I cry, I cry
    I know, I'm caught up in the middle
    I cry just a little
    When I think of letting go
    Oh no, gave up on the riddle
    I cry just a little
    When he plays piano in the dark

    Her love keeps pulling me back for more but as I turn to the door no one was there to pull me back so I cry I cry I cry then out of the darkness here comes Brenda Russell with God light upon her to bring me back to Pino in the dark as it plays while we dance to Pino in the dark for the last time.

If you read this message by chance I just want to say we had good times back in Detroit Northewestern High School. I should have asked you out earlier to the Prom. I was just a day late. Anyways hope you living a good life. Lost Love from Rick Class of 90.

    One thing I can really say is black women have such beautiful voices. When u listen to any love songs in the 80s by black females artists. You can really hear just how beautiful their voices are. I can not get into music they started playing in the late 90s and definitely not the music over these past 12 year's. And they just get worse each year. I think white female artists was really good back then to. I can't get into their music as well. Cause it's just sad female singers really song with their emotions and their heart in the 80s. That's why 80s songs like this will never go away. Since the 80s generations been born and I read so many different generations comments. And I always hear them say things like. How they wish they wa born in those day's. How they like this music more then they like songs through out these past 25 year's.They even would bring up movies from the 80s and 90s. And they are right cause we keep seeing Hollywood doing remakes of movies from the 80s and they end up so bad. Just like they will takes parts from songs in the 80s songs. It's nice to be able to listen to these songs I grew up with. I just cant get into the music they been putting out for the past 20 year's. Maybe every now and then a song will come out that I will like. But they are not songs I can go back to listening years later. This is just me and we all have are own tastes in what we like.

      Touch My Nipples Doesn't matter, they both track back at this artist :/ But I expect this to be more common in the future.

      GoldenCandyMan I don't know, this song was bomb back then (2010) because many people started remixing this song. I think the hype is gone now.

    I remember this song from the 80's, but never knew the name. I just recognized the sample from the chorus.
