Sad Eyes, for example by Robert John. Great tune. The message is telling a woman he's cheating with to wipe her eyes and split because his wife is coming back home.

    The Human League were one of the pioneers of electronic pop in the UK and were initially totally synthetic. Original keyboardist/writer Martyn Ware passed up the chance of buying a car to purchase his first polyphonic synthesizer, for instance. But they always wanted to be a pop group first and foremost (one of their seminal influences being Donna Summer's iconic disco hit, 'I Feel Love').

    What's good for the gander is good for the goose. This is the one song of theirs that always moved me. Love those harmonies and falsetto singing, great melody and resigned admission of human frailty. Maybe mankind isn't made to be monogamist.
    I had actually confused this song with one by the same name by The Pretenders which was the theme song to a very short-lived TV show I loved back in 1998 called "Cupid". It starred Jeremy Piven in the title role and the lovely Paula Marshall as his therapist. He's convinced he's the actual Greek god kicked out of Olympus for his arrogance, banned until he matches 100 human couples without the use of his powers. It was funny and human, good lead actors but the song is one of The Pretenders' best. Please give it a hearing:

    Human League's Human - as well as New Edition's Can You Stand The Rain Album - are among the first productions of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (who also produced 5 of Janet Jackson's best albums. Bobby Brown, and many others during that time). They were also members of the group The Time, a creation of Prince. Their influence, along with Prince's, illustrates how dominant the Minneapolis Sound was during the 80s and 90s.

    More than one couple has experimented with other folks. So, while the lyrics may not be ideal, they are accurate for some. That being said, the melody and groove are fire!!

    OH SHIT!! I just realized that the instrumental sounds a LOT like The Force M.D.'s (r&b group) song Love is a house. That's crazy. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis wrote & produced both of these songs.

    This song sounds like other Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis hits, all of which are sung and played in A flat Major.

    Janet Jackson - Escapade, Come back to me, Love will never do without you, and Runaway

    The thing about this song is he was married to his high school for about 2 years then he had an on and off fling with the dark haired girl in the group. They still remain friends to this day along with being in the group also.

    You're so right on the lyrical content & thank you for addressing it - I felt the same way too when analyzing the lyrics more closely as I got older, having falling in love with the song when it came out. Musically, it's absolutely gorgeous, which is what makes the song hard so hard to dismiss. Wouldn't it be nice if new lyrics (of fidelity) could be written for it?!
