In 1989, Wright was replaced by Margo Urban and more hits followed. Their sophomore album "We Can't Go Wrong" includes the lead single "My Heart Skips a Beat" climbed to #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. The ballad title track "We Can't Go Wrong" became their first Top 10 hit, peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
By 1992 the trio had more lineup chages: Jackson was the only remaining original member. New members were Evelyn Escalera and Michelle Valentine. Preceeding the released of The Cover Girls third album, "Here It Is", they scored their second Top 10 hit followed ("Wishing On A Star" #9 Pop & #7 Dance) and "Thank You" (#75 Pop). The albums' other singles are "Don't Stop Now" (#63 Pop & #8 Dance) and by "Funk Boutique" (#55 Pop & #8 Dance) and "If You Want My Love (Here It Is)" (#8 Dance). "Don't Stop Now" is noted as the first song to feature the lead vocals of Evelyn Escalera.
With the release of The Cover Girls' fourth album "Satisfy" in 1996, the lead vocal duties were performed by Michelle Valentine. The line up included members Damie, Gayle and Shelia for this album only. The singles from this album are "I Need Your Lovin'" and "I Am Woman." The group went on hiatus after the release of "Satisfy." In early 2012, Sabater, Jackson and Urban reunited and now tour as The Original Cover Girls. Wright is expected to rejoin the line-up as well in 2014. Until 2012, Sabater toured singing Cover Girls songs under the name 'Angel (The Original Cover Girl)'. Sabater has had solo success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart as Angel Clivillés.
Because Of You
The Cover Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to be all by myself, used to be so bad
Until you
You came along and took me by the hand
Until you
You came along and said that you'd be my man
[Chorus:]
Spinning all around because of you
Babe
I'm as happy as can be and it's definitely
Because of you
Babe
Just because of you...
I used to go to bed at night, wishing I had a friend
Someone to hold and squeeze me tight, one very special friend
Until you
You came along and told me you would be the one
Until you
You came along and held me in your arms
[Chorus]
You are a dream come true
And there's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
Baby just for you
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
[Chorus]
I love you...
The Cover Girls’ song “Because of You” is a love song that expresses the joy and happiness that love can bring into a person’s life. The opening lyrics of the song describe the loneliness that the singer felt before she met her lover. She used to walk home alone and felt sad and bad. However, when the lover came into her life, everything changed. He took her by the hand and promised to be her man. The chorus describes the feeling of elation that the singer experiences because of her lover. She jumps up and down, spins around, and is as happy as can be because of him.
In the second verse, the singer continues to describe the void that she felt before meeting her lover. She used to go to bed at night wishing for someone special to hold and squeeze her tight. When the lover came into her life, he fulfilled that wish. He promised to be the one and held her in his arms. The song ends with the singer expressing her love and gratitude for her lover, stating that he is a dream come true and that there is nothing in the world she wouldn't do for him. The song’s upbeat and catchy melody enhance the positive and joyful message of the lyrics.
