I always thought that there was something missing from the Three Dog Night interpretation of this song, it just sort of stops. When I heard Laura's original, with the wonderfully satisfying "Better hide your heart Girl" coda, I knew I had been listening to the wrong version for too long - now Laura Nyro's is the ONLY voice I ever want to hear sing it! Ditto for "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Stony end", and all her other songs that were hits for other Artists. I can't understand why the radio programmers chose to play watered down copies, instead of Laura's great originals.
