Very romantic and sultry lyrics with a SWEET horn accompaniment, stellar piano and a flawless vocal delivery by Prince...I'm all syrupy, nod

Best ol'skool slow drag song I've heard in awhile.

SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH

i know u're out there
i can feel ur eyes on me
seen that face a 1000 times
if only in my dreams

i know u really want me
i can feel ur hands on me
i really wanna touch u 2
in a way im much 2 shy 2 speak

and even though
i'm all alone
4 what it's worth
u're somewhere here on earth

and i like it


i know, i know u're out there
i can feel u getting closer 2 me
i'm just wondering what u're waiting 4
when u know i am free

in this digital age, u could just page me
i know its a rage, but it just dont engage me
i like the face to face
do you want 2 do this at urs, or my place?

it's been so long
since i been with somebody
like a million years
now u're here on earth
u're here, u're here

[Renato piano]

somewhere here on earth
and i like it, i like it

listen..
i know u hear me
like a whisper in ur ear
u don't have to fear me
u r everything i hold so dear

i know u already love me
u're probably just 2 cool 2 say
somebody somewhere put u down
but that's ok, that's ok

cuz whenever when u feel
it's time 2 heal
no more
as long as i'm here on earth

Agrees with zaara, whether you dont like this style or song of not, in a few years it will be considered THE classic track from this album.

Why?
- One of his strongest melodies in years
- Exquisite singing, not too understated and not overdone, subtle.
- A simple, but strong composition that lends itself to be covered by different kind of artists.
- Lyrics that a lot of people can relate to.

Maybe its too early, but i think this song will become a next sort of "How come U don't call me anymore" and "Nothing compares to U", a new pop-evergreen.

This pretty much sums it up. This song could put me to sleep, and not in a bad way, but in a comforting way. It is very calm. Dig it.

this is my favorite track Prince layers his vocals over the arrangement perfectly! I don't get a parade vibe , it reminds me of a stylsitics song or what you'd tune into listening to the quietstorm lol cool
