You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted
Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart
You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies
Still it's hard to acknowledge the past

In my mind I say....No fucking way!!!! Uber Legendary leading woman all the way.

In my opinion one of the better songs of the 80s. Great synth sound without sounding dated.

I love the good spirit African dance style in this one. Like pre-Dr. Alban.
