Girl, sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should
To you, I act like I'm no good
And you, wait for me patiently
This house is not a home without you
It takes two hearts to share

Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need

And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close
You tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it
Never dream of givin' up
That's the price of love

Love, sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong
Sometimes it's hard to be that strong
And oh, I would do anything
For you I'd turn the stars around
I'd find a way somehow

This time, you'll see I built a bridge to you again
Love shines, we'll sweep away the past
We're more than lovers, more than friends

And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other tight
You tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it
Never think of givin' up
That's the price of love

Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need

And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close
You tell me it's alright
And sometimes I can't give enough
That's the price of love

That's the price of love, that's the price of love
That's the price of love...

Bad English

Bad English was a short-lived hard rock supergroup best known for their chart-topping rock ballad “When I See You Smile”. The band came up with their name while shooting pool between studio takes. The term means ‘putting the wrong spin on a cue ball’.

After releasing four successful albums on his own, ex-Babys frontman John Waite felt the urge to front a band again. When his manager suggested teaming up with a previous bandmate, he reconnected with ex-Babys Jonathan Cain (while Cain’s band Journey was on hiatus) backstage at a Heart concert. Cain had already been in touch with another ex-Babys member Ricky Phillips about ‘doing a band with the rock attitude of The Babys again’. The three began writing songs together.

Neil Schon (also of the then-inactive band Journey) occasionally stopped by the studio and offered to play guitar to help the band out. However, he ended up officially joining the project and recruiting Wild Dogs drummer Deen Castronovo. After accumulating seven songs, a conference call between the band, producer Ritchie Zito and their A&R man led to adding songs written by outside songwriters like Martin Page, Mark Spiro and Dianne Warren – the latter contributing the ballad “When I See You Smile” (a song previously offered to Alias frontman Freddie Curci).
