Lenny's tribute to the soul of Motown and Philly Sound. The strings and falsetto vocals are silky smooth. It's about fighting for a relationship that's falling apart. It sounds like a seventies classic. A beautiful, stylish song that shows how versatile he is.

A power ballad that became his biggest hit in the 2000s. The rhythm is tight and the melody is melancholic.
