Jane Child - I Don't Wanna Fall In Love (1990)

Billboard Hot 100: #2
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Tracks: #6

I was just listening to the afternoon old school mix on my local radio station today (V 100.7 - Milwaukee) and they played this song. I most likely would've never remembered it if I hadn't heard it today, it really took me back to my early childhood. I was about 4 years old when this came out and that about as far back as I can remember.

Anyway, this was the first single from her debut album, and her only major hit
