What 1980’s song/artist is this?

This is a clip from the chorus, and the song is a slow rock song. It may be performed by “Loverboy”? Or, the lead by himself? …or maybe Cheap Trick?

“Wherever you go, I go with you; whatever I do, I do it for you…”

Thanks,

It’s Bryan Adams, from the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack

Yeah, it sounds a lot more like _The Flame_. That Bryan Adams song they were talking about goes “Everything I do, I do it for you.”

Thanks, all! Brian Adams didn’t sound right, but not a bad guess. I hate those songs when the title isn’t obvious, and the DJs never say…consistently, they NEVER say…the same bloddy song, any station you pick…some songs, they NEVER say! {Hmm… do I smell a conspiracy theory here?}

Just kidding! 😉
