澳洲歌壇天后［奧莉薇亞．紐-頓強］與丈夫的合作──中板流行抒情曲──［Can’t We Talk It Over in Bed／我們不能在床上商量嗎］

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door
Too proud to make up
Youre ready to break up
Too late you wake up
And love walks out that door

Baby oh sweet baby
I didnt mean a word that I said
(Well now) you know that I love you
Cant we talk it over in bed
I never meant to hurt you
Must have been out of my head
Tell me that you still want me
Cant we talk it over in bed
(talk talk talk it over)

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door
Too proud to make up
Youre ready to break up
Too late you wake up
And love walks out that door

Come on a little closer
Cant we just forgive and forget
Everything seems to work out
I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head
Tell me that you still want me
Cant we talk it over in bed

Dont let it no dont let it slip away
Oh no baby ooh

１９８８年秋天　４０歲的澳洲流行天后奧莉薇亞紐-頓強（Olivia Newton-John）產後復出　推出睽違三年的大碟〔The Rumour／謠言〕

找來當紅製作人Davis Sigerson掌舵

這是她首張沒有長期伙伴John Farrar參與的專輯

但反應不理想　　只登上澳洲榜＃３０　日本榜＃３１　美國榜＃６７　英國沒入榜　成為紐-頓強走紅以來成績最差的大碟

首支主打是同門師兄艾爾頓強（Elton John）為她譜寫製作的同名單曲
只登上美國流行榜＃６２　英國＃８５　澳洲＃２５

第二單曲選擇［Can’t We Talk It Over in Bed］

由Irwin Levin, Sandy Linzer譜寫　是首中板的流行抒情曲

內容在探討成人的感情世界

奧莉薇亞的詮釋細膩溫婉

MV並找來紐-頓強的丈夫Matt Lattanzi演出

只是奧莉薇亞聲勢下滑頗大　大眾反應冷淡　並沒打入排行榜

等於宣告她復出計畫失敗

同年美國歌手Grayson Hugh將［Can’t We Talk It Over in Bed／我們不能在床上商量嗎］翻成靈魂樂版

在１９８９年出版單曲

結果登上美國單曲榜＃１９　澳洲榜＃４

成為此曲最著名版本──這是後話
