More than 30 years ago, when I was 9 or 10 years old, there was a girl a couple of years older than me who sang this this to me. She just walked up to me in front of God, the 4th grade, and everybody, and sang this song, which totally embarrassed me and overwhelmed me. I mean, what little 4th grade boy is ready to hear words like this from a 6th grade girl? I could have died! Especially since I had the world's biggest crush on her and could barely stand to be in her presence. Later, I figured out that she must have known about my crush on her, and was just teasing me.
Since then I've come to like the song. Actually, I don't think I ever didn't like the song. It's by a Floridian named Roland Kent Lavoie, better known as Lobo, and was his biggest hit (#2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart) in 1972. I don't think of the song very often, but, for whatever reason, I found my self humming the tune while walking from the train station to my office yesterday.

Wow, I haven't heard that in a few decades. Funny how music brings back memories like that.
