i can't stop listening to

i wonder

worship

i know i'm a few years late but that's what i love about the online community - without it i might never have heard it - so i challenge you to find it in your collection and give it a spin today woot!


A gust of southern wind came and took my girl away from me
Now my tears could fill an ocean, my tears could fill a sea
I wonder if she thinks about me, I wonder

Many women come and go, they say my heart's uncarin' (Uncarin')
Maybe they don't hold me like she does (No they don't!)
No, it's unbearable
I wonder if she knows that I've turned down their hug and kissin'
Cuz it's her that I'm missin'
I wonder if she really knows, I wonder

CHORUS:
I wonder if she knows how much I love her
I wonder if she knows how much I need her face around
I wonder if she cares about me, I wonder

Well, go on and get it one time mushy
Well, well, well, well

Maybe she'll come on Monday, then again maybe not
Maybe she'll let me get her excited, get her sweaty, get her hot horny
I wonder if I'll finally do what I've been dreamin' so long
I wonder if she knows that she is makin' love so strong (So strong)

I wonder what ground's below her, I wonder what sky's above
I wonder if she knows how much I extra absolutely, so complete and sweetly love her
I wonder if she knows how much I love her, I wonder

All the other girls I know are dumb, dumber than a post
But my girl knows everything (everything), I'm the king so I need 2 boast
Still I wonder if she'll really ever know (I wonder if she knows)

I wonder if she knows how much I love her
I wonder if she knows how much I need her face around
I wonder if she cares about me, I wonder

I wonder if she knows how much I love her
I wonder if she knows how much I need her face around
I wonder if she cares about me, I wonder

This song has always been one of my favs. I just love it so much. I really love how Prince does so many vocals and background vocals in his music. I really like how it is usually all him of the time. I always get in such a happy mood with this song.

I Wonder is one of his best unreleased songs. Every fan of his music should have this in their collection, no matter how they feel about boots.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Since he has eighty million songs in his vault, it's a shame I've never heard this one. I won't dare ask, but I am an org note away! wink

No...
I don't know the origin's. It is one of me and my Baby's fave songs though. I Had a random mix cd playin when I first looked at this thread...then I left...about 10 min's later this song popped up on the cd so I had to revisit the thread and post something....I do adore this song. It reflects how I often feel....

I think this track was recorded during the Diamonds & Pearls sessions (or at least during that period). Definitely one of my favorite unreleased tracks. A real gem!

Oooh maybe that song was written for a woman that we know nothing about...sounds like she really ment something to him...well at the time. giggle Those really are beautiful lyrics.

Indeed a beautiful song, K6's.....in some ways it reminds me of Allegiance and Get Blue - beautiful songs that, without hearing him on vocals, wouldn't strike you as a Prince tune.

I'd like to hear more output like this.

I'm pretty sure this song is older than that. I bought it on a cassette at a record show back in the day and I'm pretty sure he didn't even know Mani then. Mayte, maybe, but I think it was recorded before her time as well.

What I wouldn't give for a new, clean copy. Prince, release this one. Please?
