美國紅髮歌姬［貝琳達．卡萊兒］──成人流行曲──［In Too Deep／深陷苦境］

I was high and dry

Dont ask me why

We took the wrong turn that day

Out on that long lonely highway...

The river was pounding below

And how we crashed, Ill never know

But suddenly I cant swim

So this is drowning...

Suddenly Im in too deep

To ever get out

I gave you my heart and my soul to keep

Dont give me your doubts

Im over my head

And its scaring me so...

Im in too deep

Im in too deep

Thanks for the crash course

That ride upon your noble horse

Well we jumped the fence that day

And rode so far away...

Will I forever roam?

I only want to come home

So wont you throw me a line?

I think its really time...

Suddenly Im in too deep

To ever get out

I gave you my heart and soul to keep

Dont give me your doubts

Im over my head

And its scaring me so...

So have a little faith baby

In where were going to

Dont ask me where

You know I just cant tell you

All I know is Im swept away

Taken by this undertow

Ooh, waves are crashing in

Baby, baby dont let me go, cause...

Im in too deep

Im in too deep

Im in too deep

Im in too deep

１９９０年代中期後, 美國歌手貝琳達．卡萊兒（Belinda Carlisle）在北美事業走向下坡, 但在英國, 歐洲, 澳洲依舊受到歡迎

１９９６年, 她從Virgin唱片轉到同屬EMI集團下的Chrysalis唱片

開始與製作人David Tickle籌備第六張大碟［A Woman and a Man］

先前合作多次, 但沒參與上張［Real］的製作人／詞曲家Rick Nowls也為她寫了五首歌曲

瑞典雙人組Roxette的男成員  Per Gessle也寫了兩首歌

專輯主要走放鬆的成人流行曲風

１９９６年９月在英國／歐洲／大洋洲出版後, 樂評好壞兩極

首支先發主打是７月發行的［In Too Deep／深陷苦境］

由Rick Nowels譜寫

原唱是紐西蘭／澳大利亞歌手Jenny Morris, 收在其１９９５年專輯［Salvation Jane］

也出版單曲, 但不成功

貝琳達版由David Tickle製作, 將原版較民謠流行的曲風改為成人流行

在中快板的節拍中, 卡萊兒與合聲的搭配和諧, 宛如夏日微颸

［In Too Deep］登上英國榜＃６　讓貝琳達重回UK Top10 　這也是她第六度擠入英倫排行榜前十

另外拿到澳大利亞＃１１　金唱片（35k）  瑞典＃５９

接下來的單曲［Always Breaking My Heart］亦進入UK Top１０

讓大碟［A Woman and a Man］有不錯成績  拿到英國專輯榜＃１２

銷售逾１０萬張  拿到金唱片

讓３８歲的卡萊兒持續她在英國歌壇的人氣
