"Damn! I Wish I Was Your Lover" was Sophie B. Hawkins's calling card: the first single from her 1992 debut album Tongues and Tails, sent out by Columbia that March, and a song she wrote and sings herself, with Rick Chertoff and Ralph Schuckett producing. The title does most of the talking.
It climbed to number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and just as high on the Cash Box Top 100, cracked the top 10 in six more countries, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand and Norway among them, and peaked at 14 in Britain. MTV banned the first video for its erotic content, so a second version had to be made.
