Now I'm here out on my own
Trying to live my life
And now you wanna come back

She doesn’t get enough credit for her bass playing. It’s not just good, she writes some powerful, hooky, bass-lines.

10'4 to that !
goldenmoleful
They are amazing bass lines and I have no idea how she sings over them. I had such a bigger respect for Aimee Mann when I started listening to her bass lines
Swede Johanson
She’s a very good bass player, but it’s her voice that gets me. Shes an incredibly gifted singer
Cagatay Belgen
She's faking it. It's just a playback session. Very common in the 80's.
Michael Tobiasen
So underrated!! The lyrics, that bassline, her voice. Why wasn’t this #1?!
Victor Lugosi
Because this same year there was bangers after bangers.. it’s the peak 80s
Malcolm Lagares
What a performance! . . . Wow! . . . Just wow. . . This is sooo good. My God, I love this. This is sooo good, but listening to it also breaks my heart because I remember how good things were in the 80s, how good the music was. It was an amazing time. . . I am so fortunate and soo blessed to have been a teenager in the 1980s.
Urai Groves
Me too...October and Nov of 1986 was when this was big..takes me back to Huntsville Alabama as a 24 year old struggling to get my career started....
