Bryan Adams followed up with the success of singles like "Straight From The Heart" and "Cuts Like A Knife" with this song, about a man who's been shy around an attractive woman he's been pining for, but has decided he is finally going to man up and tell her how he fells.
Adams wrote the song with his regular collaborator Jim Vallance, who reflects on his website : "I go back and forth on this song ... sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I'm not even sure why. It has a great guitar riff (Bryan's idea), a good middle eight, a decent chorus. It all seems to work ... but for me there's something about this song that just doesn't resonate."
