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.
Cute
The Cover Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
That all the girls see in you
They say you're everything
That I could ever want
Not true
I ain't really into
The egotistic type
I don't believe the hype
Now I know what you're thinkin'
A word that ends in
"Ite"
But trust me baby boy
That's not what I'm tryin' to say
The Cover Girls's song "Cute" is a catchy and fun song about love and attraction. The singer is expressing her doubts and confusion about the popular opinion that her love interest is the perfect guy. The lyrics convey a sense of skepticism, doubt, and irony as the singer tries to reconcile her feelings with everyone else's opinion.
The song begins with the singer expressing confusion since she doesn't see the appeal of the guy she likes, a sentiment that is in opposition to what many girls believe. Despite everything that he has going for him, the singer does not feel the spark and connection that others seem to see in him. She reveals that the egotistical nature of the guy is not something that appeals to her.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable, and the line "Now I know what you're thinkin', a word that ends in 'ite'," is a clever play on words. The singer is trying to communicate that she is not trying to call the guy out for being arrogant, something that the word ending with 'ite' would insinuate. Rather, she is trying to connect with him and see beyond his apparent attractiveness.
