Someone I know is staring at me,
And when I look into her eyes,
I see a girl that I used to be,
I hardly recognise.
And when I look into her eyes,
I see a girl that I used to be,
I hardly recognise.

Tropes applying to Kim Wilde:
- '80s Hair: Kim Wilde sported a spectacular mane throughout the majority of the decade.
- Intercourse with You: "Take Me Tonight." And that's just the title.
- Lyrical Dissonance: Frequently. "Can't Get Enough (Of Your Love)", for instance, is an upbeat pop-rock song about a relationship that "toxic" wouldn't even begin to describe. "You Came" is often thought to be about a romantic relationship, but it was actually written by Wilde's brother Ricky about the birth of his first child.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: "You Keep Me Hangin' On" about an ex-lover who just won't let go of the relationship.
