Masters of mascara and mayhem, Poison, turned heartbreak into a Billboard chart hit. Frontman Bret Michaels wrote the power ballad after discovering his girlfriend was cheating on him. He actually wrote the song in a laundromat while on tour, strumming his guitar between wash cycles and probably getting some weird looks from other customers. The track spent three weeks at #1 and became the kind of classic that even hair metal haters can't help but sing along to.
