CONTEXT & NOTES
The song is a more traditional R&B ballad, speaking from the perspective of a young man who has not yet found love but yearns for it. It is mainly piano, acoustic guitar, and synth-based. It was often played live with extended instrumental solos and audience teasing. The song was later covered by Rainy Davis in 1987 (reaching #41 on the R&B chart) and by British duo Dorothy in 1988 (peaking at #81 on the UK Singles Chart).
