I believe this is a cover of an old R&B song. A few other late '70s "new wave" artists I can't seem to put names to other than one of them was British covered it as well around that time. Too bad I never have heard Cheap Trick do this number. I always loved the scathingly humorous chorus line, "I love you honey, but I hate your friends..." I'd love to hear a woman cover this sometime as that would add another interesting twist to this bluesy lament.
