The Mike Douglas Show. I cannot believe I know the words to this song anymore than I can believe I was alive then.

[@dressagerider31]

Fell in love with this song in maybe 1970? When I was a freshman in high school. Without a doubt my favorite song ever since.

[@davidhugaert8006]

Oh how I remember watching "The Mike Douglas Show" as a kid! The best talk show of its time, indeed!!! It included a myriad of guest stars ranging from Richard Pryor to John Lennon & various other Who's Whos of the era. Bravo, Mike Douglas!!! R.I.P. Sir. R.I.P. to Carter Cornelius (a.k.a. Prince Gideon Israel) as well.

Great-looking singers with wonderful music!

[@91Definite]

"Now I wouldn't mind it if I knew she really love me too, but I hate to think that I'm in love alone and there's nothing that I can do.." Sad but true words, I sing this song to myself so many times cause I too get played and jerked around by women that I really care and love for. There's nothing you can do what is there? You tell a person you love them and they don't look at it as something great. Love can put you in a misery state of mind that's hard to overcome...I'm going through that right to be 23 years old..

[@MangetsuSAMURAI]

Three year old post would make you 26 now. Welcome to the better side of 25. It doesn't get easier, but all you can do is pull yourself up and keep going. We're all rooting for you, bruv.
