The almost silent "don't" in the chorus line "No, I don't want to fall in love" also indicates a longing for this person, being in conflict with reason. He expresses his reluctance, yet hints at wanting to "fall in love" knowing this love of worldly desire will most likely break his heart. The chorus pines for not wanting to fall in love yet is sung with such passion that one knows he is, or has been in love. The narrator ( Isaak) acknowledges that “no one could save me but you” in the first line but then paradoxically says it was “foolish” to partake in the second line. The song is a classic Love/Hate relationship. The video was ranked #73 on Rolling Stone magazine's "The 100 Top Music Videos". The video was ranked #13 on VH1's 100 Greatest Videos and was also ranked #4 on VH1's 50 Sexiest Video Moments. A previous version of the video was commissioned for the Wild at Heart soundtrack, and was directed by David Lynch. The video won the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Male Video, Best Cinematography and Best Video from a Film. Viewers still reacted to Christensen's sexually suggestive performance, and the video was later featured on MTV's Sexiest Video of All-Time countdown. Christensen was topless and Isaak was shirtless through most of the video, although clever camera angles concealed any actual nudity. The music video of the song was directed by Herb Ritts and featured top model Helena Christensen rolling on the beach with Isaak. Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with David Lynch films, began playing the song and it quickly became a nationwide top ten hit in January 1991, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the only hit song of his career in the U.S. Despite being released as a single in 1989, it didn't become a hit until it was later featured in the David Lynch film Wild at Heart.
It is written in the key of B minor and utilizes the B Dorian modal scale.
