Words & Music by Nick Eede
As recorded by Cutting Crew
This song is not only thier biggest single but also one of the greatest new
wave rock
song. This single went to billboard chart top in 1987.
They are originally formed in canada. But they began thier music actvity in uk
initially.
I still like this song. One more thing is , I don't think this crd
transcription is perfectly correct.
So, I'll really appreciate if someone could

'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
