The band's first five albums sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and have sold 17 million albums total. After their success waned in the late 1980s, the band split up in 1989 and its members pursued other musical endeavours including group and solo efforts. Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy teamed up with bassist Gary Moon and released an album without the other original band members in 1995, but the band soon re-united to release two new albums in the latter half of the decade.

Woman In Love
Night Ranger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave her the big speaker stereo
Blastin' out rock and roll
Oh, yeah
Something hit her
Now she's out of control
She's coming over talkin' 'bout
She must be dreaming
Somebody wake her
Just like a woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the best of me
(Woman in love)
A woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the rest of me
(Woman in love)
Spinning passion in her old man's car
She got a nasty way of racing
And making that Corvette talk
Oh, yeah
Well, sixteen days, I'm going out of my mind
She's got me runnin' out, jumpin' around
Tori girl, you're stealing me blind
Oh, yeah
I must be dreaming
Somebody help me
Just like a woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the best of me
(Woman in love)
A woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the rest of me
(Woman in love)
And those summer nights
You were so kind to me
(Love is blind)
And I knew inside
That we would never see
(Eye to eye)
I'm over loading
On this fantasy
(My, my, my)
But I'll play it all the way
If for just a minute
Won't you let me be me
I must be dreaming
Somebody shake me
Just like a woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the best of me
(Woman in love)
A woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the rest of me
(Woman in love)
Just like a woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the best of me
(Woman in love)
A woman in love
(Woman in love)
She wanna get the rest of me
(Woman in love)
In "Woman In Love" by Night Ranger, the singer describes his girlfriend who is obsessed with him to the point where it's driving him crazy. He gave her a big speaker stereo and now she can't get enough of rock and roll music. She's even talking about planning a vacation to Mexico with him. He compares her to a "woman in love" and says that she wants the best and the rest of him. It seems like their relationship is heading towards disaster, as he feels smothered by her affection.
The lyrics also describe a passion-filled night in which the couple races around in his old man's Corvette. However, the singer realizes that this relationship is not going anywhere, as they do not see eye to eye. Despite this, he continues to play along, knowing that it won't last. The song portrays a toxic, one-sided relationship in which the woman is too obsessed with the man, causing him to become overwhelmed.
