John Waite apparently recorded a version in 1987 too, but left it off his album. It doesn't appear to be on youtube, but I think I can almost imagine how it sounds.

I am REALLY fuckin' into the Lauper rendition at the moment…that note she hits at 3:23-24 is a hard as fuck interval! and the standard late 80s production very much hits the spot. I really have no affection for anything she has done other than this tune, and furthermore find the Orbison and Dion versions unlistenable …furthermore, it seems to me that Billy Steinberg time travelled the inspiration some 21 years ahead into Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break…" what an interesting career that guy's had…
I like these live versions very much as reference
