    Criminally underrated song. For those who think this is about Max and David.. It's not. This is about David and Donna and more so.. about any man and woman who's had that kind of extremely close friendship (or former romance) or possibly bordering on physical relationship that neither can't admit to themselves or each other that they have feelings for the other out of fear of what it will do to the friendship. I feel this song in so many ways.

    Interesting how Carly Simon was constantly performing movie ballads during the mid-eighties. 1986 was probably her busiest year, providing themes to Karate Kid Part II, Nothing in Common, and Heartburn. And, she produced three winners as a result: "Two Looking at One," "Coming Around Again," and "If It Wasn't Love".

    I bought the cassette tape to this movie just to hear this wonderful song. Then I bought the DVD movie because I love Tom Hanks and this was a genuine, feel good movie, but I could hear again that beautiful song by Carly Simon ! Now I can hear it on you tube, and it takes me back to the 80s again, driving in my Ford listening to the cassette, which I only bought to hear this song ! Another great song in a movie that is timeless, is I Will Remember You, by Sarah Mclachan ! Great stuff to listen to !

    Movie was amazing,my Dad and I weren't that close,he got sick ,I was the one who had to step it up and help my Mom more ,she didn't drive. I was privileged to get to know my Dad as a human not just my Hero. Thank God he showed me what I was missing. My Mom and I are still going strong we lost other family members including my Dad over the last 20 plus years. I'm the middle daughter,but my Mom said I act more mature than my remaining siblings.

    Funny sometimes how you think
    You’ve found someone, out of all the others you recall
    It stays a little longer on your mind, the only one
    And life becomes the hardest place to fall
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    What were all those feelings and why?
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    Can I just go on dreaming?
    Started out at zero we built it up
    Built it up, made it more than most will ever do
    Maybe it was just the times in me, we stayed in touch
    But not enough to last one whole life through
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    What were all those feelings and why?
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    Can I just go on dreaming? Tonight…Tonight
    Living for you now is all I want
    Who but you could ever really change the heart of mine?
    Loving you, I thought that I had found the other side
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    What were all those feelings and why?
    If It Wasn't Love at all
    Can I just go on dreaming?
    Can I just go on dreaming? Tonight
    Ooh if it wasn’t love
    If it wasn’t love at all
    I might as well; I might as well go on dreaming
    If it wasn’t love, if it wasn’t love, if it wasn’t love

    • @theefrankguy

      What made "Nothing in Common" such a good movie to me was the fact that this was maybe one of Tom Hanks' first movies and, at the same time, Jackie Gleason's very last movie.
      It was kind of a happy hello and kind of a sad goodbye at the same time!!!.

      I respectfully disagree. Here’s a guy who has become so preoccupied with being a partner in the advertising firm for which he works that he’s pretty much forgotten his familial roots. He’s got a new girl in his bed every week, yet never stops yearning for his high school sweetheart.
      Then his parents suddenly give him a sobering reminder that they still exist…. by separating. He spends the next several weeks basically getting to know his mom and dad all over again. Before David realizes it, he’s become the parent and his folks have become a couple of old, but very needy “children.” Sometimes, his folks are petulant and stubborn and other times, they’re competing for his time and attention.
      I think it’s an original movie concept; yet one to which a lot of people his age can relate.
