After the brilliant bright light of "Second Guessing" I guess we need to anticipate a turd. This song is lame, no getting around it. Do I need to dissect it? Well, for starters it's built around an amateurish riff, the vocals are Michael doing a caricature of himself mumbling, and Mike just figured, "what the hay, I'm gonna sing whatever I want!" God bless Bill, he's trying so hard to salvage this crap-fest with solid and even interesting drumming.
Ok, to be fair I do enjoy the bridge, but only because it's pretty much a different song: key change, the melody and harmonies mesh, and Pete has the good sense to just strum at the top of the measure. Then it's back to turdsville. BUT... fourth unresolved ending on the album so far!

i had no idea that you didn't like this song. I think its a little jewel. kindof a row-your-boat round.
Michael certainly isn't concerned with pitch or effort... so i guess it does fall a little flat... i guess I can see your point. But I used to like it.
Maybe I was a bit harsh.
