She's setting you up my friend
She's gonna break your heart again
initially before the middle eight and repeated after the final chorus, which were not on the album version or the 12" mix, but feature in the video, which was included on the 1988 VHS release If Looks Could KILL.

The 12" and CD single version featured an extended remix by Tom Lord Alge, running at 7:22. A very limited edition of the UK 12" single release came with a giant double-sided poster incorporating a 1988 calendar.

An even more scarce format of this release is the Japanese 3" CD single, which features an exclusive extended version of Heart's previous single "

Alone" clocking in at 5:30, as well as the unedited 12" Remix of "There's The Girl" which does not have an early fade-out. Both of these tracks are exclusive to this Japanese release and not found elsewhere.[3]
