It hit #40 in Billboard in August, 1991, but I can't remember it at all from back then. My 45 pool mailed it to me, though, and I still have the 45.
The 45 has a printed time of (5:19) and an actual run time of (5:16). I assume it's the LP version, since it's not labeled.
I have the song on Hitmakers Vol. 53 May 31, 1991, where it runs (4:14). It's an early fade of the 45 (LP version?), with a 32-beat fade, starting and ending on the downbeats at around 3:58 and 4:16, respectively.
Desmond Child is the same guy who co-wrote "Livin' La Vida Loca", and, more importantly, had a teensy hit in 1979 with the fine record "Our Love Is Insane" as Desmond Child & Rouge.

my commercial cassingle issued as elektra 64883 does not state a version but does list a run time of 5:19 but actually runs 5:16 and is identical to the full length cd/album version.....i also have the promo cd single with the "edit" version on it which runs 4:14....although the promo states "edit" it's just really a fade of the album version as stated in "craps" above post......

I never realized he actually recorded it as a solo record. It was also recorded by Cher 2 years earlier on the Heart of Stone album (which included several of his compositions).
