On the other hand, having someone offer to give you the world, if you would only take it from them, is a beautiful love song, Stevemeister. So, don't say he never wrote any for you.

Yep! In addition (way off-topic), some writer somewhere said that it was interesting that younger Stevie's songs were "tougher" than the older Christine's. I think that's bunk too. Stevie's are the songs of someone in turmoil, who can't quite control her emotions; Christine's are tough cuz she looks at heartache... sensibly. All these different approaches are, of course, what makes Rumours the greatest album of all time.
