Breaking up is hard to do - and when a relationship turns sour, nothing provides more comfort than the cheesy pop hits of the '70s and '80s. Just as Quirk's I Can't Fight This Feeling was an anthology of classic love poetry, You Give Love a Bad Name features poetic writings on breaking up - and moving on - from The Bee Gees, Michael Bolton, Pat Benatar, Hall and Oates, and many others. Packaged in an elegant hardcover volume with a deluxe ribbon marker, it's the perfect gift for anyone seeking to mend a broken heart.
Includes these timeless classics:
- Is She Really Going Out with Him? - Joe Jackson
- She's Gone - Hall and Oates
- Cold Hearted - Paula Abdul
- Alone - Heart
- Goodbye to You - Scandal
