When I heard it back in the 80's didn't understand quite well the liryc, see I'm mexican, but the frase "What about me" pushing me to do something, make me tried hard at my school and sports because I wanted to poeple look at me and see as somebody that could do somenthing good in life. Well I'm still doing something for make this world better.

Jan 23, 2012 - This was such a awesome song back then........I heard it on the radio one day and had to find the name of the group and title....it for some reason brings me to tears. I try and think back to 1982 and what I might have been going through at that time to make me cry now. It must have been a breakup with someone. Great song!!!!

Jan 29, 2012 - This song is 30 years old. Doesn't time fly. It goes down on my list as being the most nicest ballads from the 1980's. I like it when it gets toward the end of the song and Alex Smith really puts his emotion into the finishing touch of the song. Heartfelt . : )

Jan 31, 2012 - @HHH100 Sir. You need to educated yourself about the left-right paradigm. Two wings of the same bird. Both democrat and republican are bringing this country down. Neither party is interested in the constitution or real free market capitalism. They've pulled the "ladder" up behind them and pass laws that only financially benefit themselves and their buddys. Please do some research on this subject. Our childrens future depends on it. Good Luck to you and congratulations on your success.

As long as she really was fairest of them all, naturally! If someone fairer stepped up, to be really fair, she'd naturally hand them her crown and pass on all her power to them, no hesitation! And instead of tests of courage or might, there'd be tests of fairness.. Secret observations to find.... A nothing in the way - Let love and friendship be free - Ruler.
