I’ve had the damn thing running through my head for over a week. I know it’s pop, of modern vintage. Can’t recall much about the lyrics except a fragment akin to “don’t want to face the world without you” or some such thing (too vague and at the same time too generic to Google successfull).

[Here](http://home.earthlink.net/~ahunter/Upload_Download/NameThatTune.mid) is a deplorably bad MIDI that I strung together with the mouse, that catches the general melody, chord changes, and tempo/syncopation. It’s not quite right but then if I could remember it clearly I’d probably know it well enough to Google it, so it’s the best I can do right now.

Bail me out and tell me what it is that’s taken up residence in my ears…

I don’t know about your MIDI, but it could it be Showoff, _Waiting For You_?
