[edit] Covers section

I'll state up-front that I am totally uninterested in the instrumental versions, but I'd like to see more information on the Bette Midler and Prince covers. Did Bette Midler really perform a soul song with full orchestration? What does "stylistically similar" mean? I found few references to the Prince cover (here is one: [1]), so I assume that it has never been recorded. Is that correct? If we can simply say "has been performed in concert but not recorded" and/or "Available only on the rare bootleg release Bette Midler and Friends Sing Your Soul Favourites", I'd like to see that in the article.

Fro mthe 30-second clip iTunes let me hear of Midler's, it sounds rather close to the original Temptations version, with a slightly more pop feel. AMG says nothing about Prince's version, so I think it is a concert-only performance (I derived the list of covers from a website dedicated to covers). --FuriousFreddy 05:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Would the version by Gwyneth Paltrow & Babyface qualify as a notable cover? 90.196.4.217 18:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrical Interpretation

The editor of the article interprets the bridge's meaning as: "The narrator has not made any attempt to approach the woman because, after having been hurt by a previous lover, he is simply too afraid to embrace the possibility of heartbreak again." However, another interpretation as to the bridge's meaning (specifically the line "Don't ever let another take her love from me") would be that the narrator simply doesn't want another [person] to steal his woman away. 75.92.169.24 06:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Ryan Whitley
