"When It Comes to You" is a song written by Mark Knopfler and recorded by British rock music band Dire Straits for their 1991 album On Every Street. It was covered by American country music artist John Anderson (with Knopfler on guitar) and released in April 1992 as the third single from his album Seminole Wind. Anderson's version peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in the United States and number 2 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.

Content

The song is about a faltering marriage told from the point of view of the husband, who feels that his wife gives him a hard time in regards to everything he does and is wishing the relationship ends, rather than continue his feelings of despair.

Music video

The music video of Anderson's version was directed by Steve Boyle.
