But I can't agree with you on "The Promise". The lyrics in that song are so beautiful. I don't find it cheesy at all. It makes me all weepy.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will."

Sigh...

I love Miami Sound Machine for everything that it is.

I think "The Promise" has some good lyrics, too, it's just that I figure most people think it's cheese because it's got that whole over-the-top love ballad with the overly 80s music thing going on. But it's one of my fave 80s songs, probably.
