	I'd put this in Van Hagar's 5 best, no question it's one of my favorites, just because it hits so close to home for me There's a girl I've been nuts about for close to 10 years, and she's made it quite clear she is only interested in being friends, and not very close friends at that but I still think of her all the time, because it doesn't matter what she says or does, I can't stop loving her

	This is the best song from the Van Halen Sammy Hagar years. It's perfect.

	I think that this is the best song that Van Halen has ever released.

	It's funny that you mention the Ray Charles homage because I considered the line "And true love will never die, no, not fade away" to be drawing reference from The Rolling Stones song "Not Fade Away". (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=45216)
