“You insist on trying to find a way back into my heart. I was never one to take 2 steps back and I’ll never start...” I feel that on a whole new level hearing that as an adult now 🙌🏾
Cameo made some of the best love ballads ever. One of my favorite songs by them, this song is such a vibe. Larry Blackmon’s voice is so melodic and smooth, it truly shine beautifully by the end of the song.
@@MrTeatreeoilwho? Lots of good music every year. You just have to search it out. Expand your listening. Ask friends family and internet strangers what they are listening
Seen em in concert Cameo was an epitamy of rnb hits in the 80's Larry Blackmon should've been noticed for more than the red cod piece let than marinate peace
@Randy Anderson larry blackmon did his word up persona a bit too long. in fact after the album as well as the decade itself faded he was still on his word up faze into the 90s and 2000s.
I’ve been a Cameo fan since I was a teenager. This song was always one of my favorites. I’ve been through a couple of bad relationships were I had to take my power back and this song is a perfect reminder 👍🏿
This song reminds me so much of the 1980's, the good times of the 1980's. There were so many talented bands and groups in the 1980's. It really was a good time for music
this is real funk. I was 27yrs old, and jammin at O'dells in baltimore, Md on North ave. and still jammin today in 2021. Cameo and Larry Blackmon. Pure smooth funk for the 1980's. O'dells you'll know if you belong. was there slogan.
" dont be lonely ,youre not the only one who feels the way you do ,don't be lonely don't be lonely ,you're not the only one whose heart been broke in two "
The song got intense close to the ending when Larry had the lights drop on him to deliver the point of the song.and the other Cameo members was feeling the vibe of it.
You' Know' It' ''SQUARAY ' Back when, the 'man dem'.

Agree, also; sax everywhere and the whole music video is a masterpiece of expressionism. The shadow and light game is so lit (yes),maybe just on par with the hair game… mad mastery anyhow.
You should have seen their concerts if you think their music was the bomb. Hate you are just a youngster, but when these groups were in their prime, NOTHING could touch them. Check out some of the bands live concerts from 1976- 1990. You will definitely feel the grove
When you listen to the words of this song, most of us have been here before. A timeless classic. If this song came out today, it would still be a hit just like it was on yesteryears...
Oh yea I love this song by cameo, don't b lonely, I have not heard it this song in years, it was always a beautiful love song !!!!!. Didn't know cameo had a music video for this song !!!!.
Mannnnn how I miss real music like this...That saxophonist killed it, I’ve been listening to this song alllllll day today, getting off at 5..drive home on I10 blasting😀
Damn, I love this song! Brings back so many very good memories! Looking at musicians of today, or even back in the day, Cameo is timeless & unique! Great band indeed!
Cameos songs many of them and mostly all of them for me have stood the test of time. Definitely classic to any genre for me personally. A true Cameo fan and musician wishing to someday have the chance to write and record with Tommy Larry Charles and Nathan. I was born in 71 and by the late 70s into the 80s and still now I have to be the biggest Cameo fan I know. Only attending one of their live concerts In my life i do remember yelling so loudly and so much that they kept looking to my direction in the crowd trying to make out how this person could've known the names the songs and all the things I yelled , no regular fan could've known . Love Yourself. 🕺🌠🎙🎵
"I've got real strong advice and I'd like to give it to you..." So many great lyrics in this song. LOVE IT! Cameo had the best videos back in the day. All told stories and had great dancers & personality from the band members who were always showcased with solos. Damn, was that hi-top fade high enough, Larry? Love when he holds that note out at the end... "Yes sir!"
Don’t Be Lonely you’re not the only one who feels the way you do. Don’t Be Lonely you’re not the only one whose heart has been broken too. Thanks Larry Blackmon and Cameo. You guys are the best 🥰
I truly adore cameo and when you first hear Larry's voice he puts his signature touch on it can't nobody touch it I love them to paradise and back rock on cameo😘😘
Everyone knows them for their MTV hits, but they are so underrated as their extensive catalog goes largely unexplored by most. I tell my kids if they’re looking for new music to go back in time and listen dont wait for the latest stuff to hit.
Wow I'm so embarrassed to say I just discovered this song and I'm a big Cameo fan how embarrassing 😥 but seriously this is literally one of the best songs I've ever heard. I'm so happy I found it 🤣🤣🤣
I was gonna say that your obviously not a big fan but I recall nuff tunes albums i bought played once then heard a song many years later and going hunting for it at the record shop to find low and behold I had the album 🤬🤬
Monday morning and I find myself missing you I'm thinking of you and your new lover Playing it cool, even though you tore my heart apart I start my day just like any other day And when the phone rings on the other end you say Now I realize that I made the wrong move To take you back in my life girl I can't see it coming through Remembering times we both knew we would regret How we feel is not the issue girl What would you do if you were in my shoes You can just stop trying to find a way back into my heart I was never one to take two steps back and I'll never start After all the changes you took me through Don't Entertain the thought I got real strong advice and I'd like to give it to you Don't Be Lonely You're not the only one who feels the way you do Don't Be lonely, You're not the only one who's heart been broken too I got real strong advice and I'd like to give it to you You're not the only one, who's heart been broken too Don't Be Lonely You're not the only one who feels the way you do Don't Be lonely, You're not the only one who's heart been broken too
That whole Word Up album was a success. I felt that they worked on the other album too soon. The songs from Word Up was getting much air play. The rotation back then was slow.
This is such a beautiful song by Larry Blackmon and Cameo..(It's my absolute favourite song in the Cameo catalogue!!) There are so many ..Whenever i play this I just think about my girl who is the most incredible girl in the world ...(Oceans apart..) I'm making my way to you baby (I don't want to be lonely no more..!!😘Xx Love this tune..!! X
I was 15 when this came out but oddly I felt the lyrics going through puppy love break up only to find out these lyrics would still mean so much as a 50 yr old man. Incredible band
Wow, I didn't realize how hot and fun that the 80s really was. I was born in 1980, but I was a gospel head. It was instilled within my sister and I when we were kids. I have heard a lot of songs from the 80s but I don't know who all of the artists are. If I hear a song and like it, I just pull it up on UA-cam. The 80s so needs to come back. We need some Prince 💜, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, George Michael, and somebody.
Was 16 y.o when released , what a timeless masterpiece compared to the shit we can hear these days ..... So much emotion coming back still after all those years , OMG what a band , wish i could turn back the clock
Cameo is the most underrated groups of all times!!!, give them their flowers now.....
🌻🥀
Falsetto throughout the entire song concluded by Larry's baritone. It just resonates.
That signature Cameo sound
“You insist on trying to find a way back into my heart. I was never one to take 2 steps back and I’ll never start...” I feel that on a whole new level hearing that as an adult now 🙌🏾
Dont entertain the thought😋
People forget sometimes that love is a two way street ! Heavy lyrics !
Like the use of lyrics here is amazing. Just incredible
that part ....
Facts! As a teenager it was just a lyric but as an adult...woosah!
In the words of Prince.
"The music was always about the Funk".
Here in 2024 🎉still jamming
Ikr!
❤👍🏾
Such an underrated, fantastic jam that deserves to have been at number one for at least a year! ❤
Still blasting it in 2023! 😊
Underrated? Really???
Yes, really....
Cameo made some of the best love ballads ever. One of my favorite songs by them, this song is such a vibe. Larry Blackmon’s voice is so melodic and smooth, it truly shine beautifully by the end of the song.
This song is so melodic and smooth. Definitely one of their most underrated songs.
True 1000!!!!!!
Hidden from CAMEOSIS!!!!! ;))
One of my favorites. Top5
Yeah really underrate
This my favorite cameo song
CAMEO die-hard fan right here! The BEST of FUNK! REAL MUSIC!
The way there doing music 2022 👎👎👎
@@MrTeatreeoilwho? Lots of good music every year. You just have to search it out. Expand your listening. Ask friends family and internet strangers what they are listening
one of my all time favorites by Cameo. I actually got to meet Larry Blackmon, and it was an honor. he's truly a musical genius.
Andre Roberts yowwl oww word up lol
Classic soul
Larry Blackmon from Cameo and Michael Cooper from Confunkshun are two of the all-time best in R&B history.
Cameo was way ahead of their time ! M
Let's give Tommy his flowers on this song. He is the primary voice here🤔
Larry and the band thank you for all the bad ass music through the years August 24th 2019
✊🏾✊🏾
💯✊🏾
@@mrjohnson20123 my man Mr Johnson 20123 knows what up wit that word up
Larry Blackmon's voice truly shines beautifully towards the end of this gorgeous song.
Thank-you Cameo.
YES IT DOES 😘😘😘
CAMEO the BEST!!!!!!
The American I agree!
Yasss!! That is my favorite part!!!
Yea by the time Larry gets to that part your already balling lol
I've never heard such beautiful sad music in my life!
"WOW" I didn't know so many people remembered this song, beautiful
Seen em in concert Cameo was an epitamy of rnb hits in the 80's Larry Blackmon should've been noticed for more than the red cod piece let than marinate peace
I thought it was my personal sad song lol (little did i know)
On the word up album this cut starts a side listen and get it
@Randy Anderson larry blackmon did his word up persona a bit too long. in fact after the album as well as the decade itself faded he was still on his word up faze into the 90s and 2000s.
Such a mellow mood, let's take a drive.
I love Larry Blackmon's bodyrock during his solo. Yessah!
thecouldntbe
yessah! The song at that point when he delivers the message of the song your in tears!
3:03
Yessirrrrrr
This man is beyond wavy 💯
I love everything about this song. The bass line, keyboard, guitar, and saxophone. Smooth funk from the greatest that ever did it. Cameo!
I cant stand the music of today, and this is why....REAL MUSIC.
True*****100!!!!!
It's garbage for the ears
Yea the old school spoiled us
Today's music is just trash I was born in 1989 with Old School Music in my blood I Love Old School Funk Music It's the best

This song reminds me so much of the 1980's, the good times of the 1980's. There were so many talented bands and groups in the 1980's. It really was a good time for music
Larry killed that at the end 💪🏽
This song...actually is helping my life out...
4 years later and I see this. Hope you have been going strong. It helps me too.
Gotta love yourself first , don't be lonely

🔥🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾
" dont be lonely ,youre not the only one who feels the way you do ,don't be lonely don't be lonely ,you're not the only one whose heart been broke in two "
Too not two..
The song got intense close to the ending when Larry had the lights drop on him to deliver the point of the song.and the other Cameo members was feeling the vibe of it.
That scene is soo heavy. Those moves are classic. Lol

Agree, also; sax everywhere and the whole music video is a masterpiece of expressionism.
The shadow and light game is so lit (yes),maybe just on par with the hair game… mad mastery anyhow.
Yes that intense feeling towards the end. Larry Blackmon put ALL of his Mind, Body and Soul into it. I’m so mesmerized by that SEXY ASS grind☺️
Yessssaaaaahhhh!! ...... I always loved the part where he ended the solo with that. Lol
This music is soul touching 🙏🏽 only 22 wish I was alive back than to actually experience all this , love the vibes . 💯
You should have seen their concerts if you think their music was the bomb. Hate you are just a youngster, but when these groups were in their prime, NOTHING could touch them. Check out some of the bands live concerts from 1976- 1990. You will definitely feel the grove

my favorite band of all time to this day....check how Larry comes in ..under rated singer like Rick jjames
+Vlad Divincii you mean at 3.02 ?? wow - thats what i like too - great band - love them so much
Vlad Divincii I agree the part when Larry comes in just caps of this classic this jam hits on all cylinders.
True That******!!!!!!
Facts
Rick james was never an underated singer..never!
Man this song makes you wanna cry bro! I mean the song is so perfect and the music is heartbroken as well.
CAMEO MAKES MY HEART SMILE. ALWAYS HAS N ALWAYS WILL.
AMEN ME TOO
slow or fast cameo can give it to you
In my Nate Dogg voice Nobody Does it Better
Yes they can!!
Those motherfuckers were bad with hot 🔥 beats, the wu tang clan of the 80s Larry Blackman is Rza
or jazz too.
Oh yea I love this song by cameo, don't b lonely, I have not heard it this song in years, it was always a beautiful love song !!!!!. Didn't know cameo had a music video for this song !!!!.

this song is in my play list
Cameo forever
Another slamming jam from one of the hardest groups of the 70's/80's. I swear Larry Blackmon has had every black hairstyle we've had except bald.
This tune is a underground classic !!
i love Cameo!!!
Never gets old. I just saw them on the 2024 old school cruise
I truly adore cameo and when you first hear Larry's voice he puts his signature touch on it can't nobody touch it I love them to paradise and back rock on cameo😘😘

Sooo silky smooth. Such a great song to chill and absorb. In my opinion one of their best slow songs. Damn, so silky smooth!
Who's listening to this song 2019
Man Pat Buchanan on guitars wow! He always puts just the right touch on it, and helped shape their sound. Wish they have stayed together.
They are still together! Saw them in Vegas a few weeks ago. They put on a great show!
Celebrating 40 years this year, they said!:)
that bounce larry did is now my official dance move 😂😂
Man this was my jam in HS. Still remember the words. Little did I know that growing up, this was real s**t!
HOW DID 161 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS JAM. THE WORLD IS CRAZY.
Just taking a trip down memory lane y'all. I just about killed this tape back in '86-'87 playing it over and over. Too cool.
......Larry flows beautiful Words at 3.01.....uuuuuuhhh Yes aaaaahhhh...................that so so Amazing....!!!...just GREAT...!
Awww Man I can't say enough about this band.....the way they married the saz, electric guitar, vocals, keys, arrangements....outstanding !!!!
Monday morning and I find myself missing you
I'm thinking of you and your new lover
Playing it cool, even though you tore my heart apart
I start my day just like any other day
And when the phone rings on the other end you say
Now I realize that I made the wrong move
To take you back in my life girl I can't see it coming through
Remembering times we both knew we would regret
How we feel is not the issue girl
What would you do if you were in my shoes
You can just stop trying to find a way back into my heart
I was never one to take two steps back and I'll never start
After all the changes you took me through
Don't Entertain the thought
I got real strong advice and I'd like to give it to you
Don't Be Lonely
You're not the only one who feels the way you do
Don't Be lonely,
You're not the only one who's heart been broken too
I got real strong advice and I'd like to give it to you
You're not the only one, who's heart been broken too
Don't Be Lonely
You're not the only one who feels the way you do
Don't Be lonely,
You're not the only one who's heart been broken too
I love this song and all of their songs.I AM THE NO 1 fan.When I pass I want Cameo songs played ,to take me home.Cameo forever/Real Love here.
***** Thank you.

THE LATE GREAT MICHAEL BRECKER ON SAX!!!!!!!!!!!
this is why i love 80's r&B till this very day...they had guitar parts and solo's in their songs....fucking love it!

Love this tune..!! X
That very last part starting at 4:05 😍😍😍 SO SMOOVE!! I WISH THERE WAS AN EXTENDED VERSION!!
Actually, there is one my friend!
Back when music was therapeutic. You would turn on music like this after a break up for a good cry and comfort.
Real music unlike today
I PROMISE THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT 😘😘
I was 15 when this came out but oddly I felt the lyrics going through puppy love break up only to find out these lyrics would still mean so much as a 50 yr old man. Incredible band
Salute Cameo gave us smooth grooves like this, 👍

Cameo❤❤❤ take me back to these days..even though I was 8 yrs old, lol now I'm 44❤
I used to listen to this when i was a young man... The memories. A classic
I feel bad for anyone who wasn't around in the '80s and missed the incredible music of that time period. Classic's Crate.
It was great from 70's to mid 90's, I believe and something bad happened, not sure what.
Was 16 y.o when released , what a timeless masterpiece compared to the shit we can hear these days ..... So much emotion coming back still after all those years , OMG what a band , wish i could turn back the clock
