I send a message to you
I close my eyes and hope it gets through
It's in the language of love
It's in your touch, there in your mouth

I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me

Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it now

So tired I can't fall asleep
I close my eyes and breathe in the heat
I've got this passion for you
Like inspiration out of the blue

I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me

Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it now

Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it

Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what you gonna do about it now
What you gonna do about it now

I send a message to you
I close my eyes and hope it gets through

Alannah Myles

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
