I don't mean to sound like an a*s, but how would overplaying make the song itself worse? I know I've ranted about the Beatles being overrated but I agree that they're genius.

I give it a 3. I did like the song at some point but it is a really cheesy song.

You have a valid question, so you're not an ass. If I love a particular band or artist, I will love them no matter how many times I hear the songs they create/sing. However, if I'm on the fence about the artist, sometimes the overplaying of the song can become annoying to me just as well. "If You Leave" is a good song, believe me. But, I've heard it since it was first released, and my fondness for it wavered.
Case in point, when Paula Abdul's album, "Forever Your Girl" came out. I bought it, loved it, and played it every chance I could get. Ask me know about it and I'd go why did I spend $8 on the cassette! I simply think time changes one's thoughts on a song (or any form of entertainment).

It's a 7. They did have much better songs in "So In Love" and "Telegraph".

I agree. Enola Gay and Joan of Arc/Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans) are also 10s.
"If You Leave" is a great pop song. "So In Love" is also a 10 in my book.
