But today, just let him know in some small way that he's still loved, because as long as he knows that, he'll be there with her in a heartbeat (because he's in love even if he sometimes falls down on the job about showing her). There's a strong implicit message about his love for her that emerges between the lines. That's what I like about the lyrics.

ITA - AND - as I have said before, it reminds me of the Negro Spirituals I grew up listening to. It has that bluesey quality. I think this song is brilliant!!!!!! I do think, however, Stevie and Chris are somewhere in that harmony mix - I can hear them in the "I'll come runnin'." Stevie and LB sounded to me alot alike in this period because both of their voices could be so high.
ALso, I do not have a live version of it. Would some kind soul PLEASE (with sugar on top) send me one at
