美國歌壇天王製作人［娃娃臉］──R&B／New Jack Swing名作──［Tender Lover／溫柔愛人］

Feels good, everybody

Tender lover, tender love

Eleanor Rigby

Spends half her life all alone

No fault of her own

Made a decision

Love has no place in her home

Love it has a right to go

Love has no limit

If you believe in love

Itll open up so

Dont even give in

Cause if it starts to give

Just hold on

We didnt didnt make it

But lovell get you by

If you only try

Just dont give up on love

Cause it didnt work out this time

Tender lover, girl, Im so sorry

Well I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to break your heart

Tender love, so broken hearted

Well I never meant to break your

Break your little tender heart

Dont ever give up

In spite of our love

Love is much too precious

Its greater than both of us

Theres more than enough

Keep lookin for love

Just be a believer

Itll give you what you want

Sky is the limit

If you believe in love

Itll open up so

Dont ever give in

Cause if it starts to give

Just hold on

We didnt didnt make it

But lovell get you by

If you only try

Just dont give up on love

Cause it didnt work out this time

[Hook]

My tender lover

Tender lover, tender love

Tender lover, tender love

Love has no limit

If you believe in love

Itll open up so

Dont even give in

Cause if it starts to give

Just hold on

We didnt didnt make it

But lovell get you by

If you only try

Just dont give up on love

Cause it didnt work out this time

[Hook]

１９８９年夏天　３０歲的美國歌壇的當紅製作人娃娃臉（Babyface）發行第二張大碟［Tender Lover］

首支主打［It’s No Crime］除拿到黑人榜冠軍外

也登上Billboard單曲榜＃７　讓他終於以個人歌手在主流市場獲得認同

１９８９年１０月　娃娃臉乘勝追擊

推出第二主打──也是專輯同名歌曲的［Tender Lover／溫柔愛人］

此曲由娃娃臉與他的製作搭檔L. A. Reid以後者妻子──黑人美女歌手Pebbles合寫

是首R&B／New Jack Swing歌曲, Funk節拍強勁

［Tender Lover］登上美國單曲榜＃１４

在黑人榜,則成為娃娃臉連續第二首冠軍（事業連續第三首）

大碟［Tender Lover］則登上流行專輯榜＃１４, 黑人專輯榜冠軍, 至今在美賣出三百萬張

隔年也拿到葛萊美年度製作人（非）提名
