+1 yThanks so much for sharing this, I listen to this song every night and cry cause
I know the true meaning about it and the 16-year-old and her family the
dad left them while Benny Mardones was there for them all and he passed
due to Parkison's and he sung this song one last time and he was on stage
he said this will be the last time I sing this cause Parkison's was taking over
him wow my eyes just got teared up I love this song so much :)11 Reply- +1 y
Thanks For MHO :)
+1 yPart of my shall we say defensive dreaming, is my ability to fly.
when I was a kid dreaming I couple fly from lamp post to lamp post and keep out of way of the bad shit lol.
Iβve definitely improved my technique these days.10 Reply
+1 yLOL. I think Benny's explanation of the song's meaning is total bullshit but the song is good, so I'm cool with it. :) I would fly on a magic carpet with him, knowing there is a very good chance his elderly peen would find its way inside my young body.

yes it was only 3 years old when i was born. it played on the radio often. such a different time!
- +1 y
Right! I miss those times... I know old nostalgic lady lol
I would be disbelieving at first. But then I would probably cry from relief and feel very grateful for that kind of love and person. Also I would hopefully feel safe, understood and accepted.

Lol lets go then! *sings the song!* π΅
Omg that song is so pedo... and also... kinda low key catchy. The video though... oh god that video is nightmare fuel.

yeah if you learn the story behind it though its actually innocent.
"With the opening line, "She's just 16 years old, leave her alone, they said," we understand if you think this song sounds a little statutory. Benny Mardones told Songfacts that the 16-year-old girl he's singing about was named Heidi, and she lived in his apartment in Spanish Harlem. Their relationship was purely platonic, however, as Benny looked after Heidi and her family after her father left. Benny would pay her $50 a week to walk his basset hound, Zanky."
so he's helping her escape the slums.. poverty - +1 y
yeahh it is 1980 lol we had no idea about what stalker activity really looked like so these days that would come across badly yes

i can't hate this song ever, his voice is just too amazing lol
- +1 y
And his background story has always been bullshit. He tongued her at the end of the video. You dont do that to someone you see like a daughter. He was a caitlyn jenner lookin pedo end of story
- +1 y
i don't believe you sorry :P
- +1 y
I didn't hate the song. I dislike the guy and the video. And i prefer ushers cover. Nothing to believe when im speaking absolute facts
- +1 y
you got no facts at all. there's no police reports, no nothing. dude just helped her out of poverty. thats all it is
- +1 y
Yea theyre called predators. You should watch Cruel summer. The principal helped that student too and he held her captive. But like i said, i have nothing against the song. I just dont like the artist. he's another eminem, chris brown, kanye etc in my eyes. Good music. Bad behavior. And bullshit excuses to cover up that behavior
- +1 y
one video doesn't make it so.. js
- +1 y
Its all in the intentions
- +1 y
which are pure as has been discussed. like seriously unless you have actual counter evidence you got nothing.
you can hate it all you want and not trust him, but its not 'facts' as you say.

he'll use his magic carpet like in the video!
I wouldn't want to fly without some form of protection from the elements. You really couldn't fly anywhere fast without risking exposure or colliding with something like bugs or birds.

pfft of course bring logic into it *rolls eyes*

can't just suspend your logic for a minute huh? lols

he would add bars on the side and a safety latch to his magic carpet just for you!
- +1 y
Haha. Even worse. Now he knows the eminent danger and still acts on it hoping to woo me. Iβd settle for an ice cream cone.
- +1 y
he'll use his flight to get you one then!
411 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Well technically he can since he has his private pilot license. I would enjoy flying with him. 😊

What form that love might take though is a mystery but maybe you have a good idea ;)
I hope he could fly as fast as Omni man so we can fly other countries for takeout :')
