There was a song with the lyrics, Cruel if you think it's over, who sang this?

Question

I think it was from the seventies.

Answer 1

I think I've got this, but you might be thinking of "Fool if You Think It's Over" by Chris Rea. I just heard it by chance on a commercial for Time Life's Soft Rock Cd collection. It's from the 70's. Is that the one you're looking for? You can go to this link to listen to it:

TimeLife.com | 30-Day Preview: Classic Soft Rock - Classic Soft Rock

When you get there, it on the "The Air That I Breathe" cd, song #4.

Hope it's what you're lookiing for!
