B-side to 'Always On My Mind'.
Release Date[]
- 30 November, 1987
Background[]
Chris has a habit of always asking 'do I have to?', so this is where the title comes from. It was originally called, 'Break His Heart, Not Mine'. Neil: "The idea being that someone you're going out with is two-timing you, saying, 'Do I have to love you?' It's a really bitter song. I love the way that it's bitter and very romantic at the same time."
Trivia[]
- This track was the first time the band worked with Bob Kraushaar, and it started a long standing studio relationship with him.
- Chris is playing live piano at the beginning of the record.
