Ivor Neville "Nick" Kamen (born 15 April 1962 in Harlow, Essex, England) is an English male model, songwriter and musician.He is most remembered, in the UK, for his 1985 performance in Levi's "Launderette" television commercial, where he strips down to stone-wash his blue jeans in a 1950s style public laundromat while he waits clad only in his Sunspel boxer shorts, which was one of a series of Bartle Bogle Hegarty advertisements that dramatically increased the popularity of Levi 501s. The commercial, directed by Roger Lyons, was selected for, and came fourth in, The 100 Greatest TV Ads in 2000. His first single was the 1986 UK number five hit "Each Time You Break My Heart" from his eponymous début album. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the US dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna also sang the backing vocals.
lyrics:
When it's shared by two
Instead of the lonely one
When you said you love me
We could not be parted
Said I build my world around you
I'm so thankful that I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
I've never felt like this before
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
Each night I said we'd never part
For all the love within my heart grows stronger
From day to day
As best I can, and how I try
To reassure you and satisfy
'Cause I'd be lost if you went away
'Cause I really need you
And I need for you to need me too
I built my world around you
I'm so thankful that I've found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
'Cause I really love you
And I'm thankful that you love me too
I have built my world around you
I am truly glad, I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
I never felt like this before
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
