Playing Hard to Forget

I've been on an Eddy Raven kick for some time now. My all-time favorite Eddy Raven song is "I Got Mexico".  I've seen all the YouTube versions and listened to it on repeat on iTunes many times. My second favorite Eddy Raven song is a little more obscure.  In fact I could only find one live version of it on YouTube.  It was released in June 1982 -- I looked it up.  :-) It's called, "She's Playing Hard to Forget".  It was Eddy Raven's first song to hit the top 10.  By the way, I Got Mexico was his first number one. Anyway here is Eddy Raven singing "She's Playing Hard to Forget" on Austin City Limits. 


Do any of you remember that song?  Not only is that song tighter than TB and 4 Barrel, as Juliet would say, but so is Eddy Raven's hair.  :-)  Brings me back to my childhood.  852.  :-)  
My favorite verse: 
I'm wondering if I don't still love you
I'm feeling the pain of regret
Giving you up won't be easy
'Cause you're playing hard to forget 
Chorus:
You're playing hard to forget
I'm still not over you yet
You're just an old memory I can't put to rest
You're playing hard to forget
That pretty much sums up the way all my old flames feel about me I'm sure.  :-)

That's my two cents.
