Which Prince song reminds you most of a past relationship?

Listening to a Prince song I haven't listened to in ten years, because it was too painful---"I Hate U" off the Gold Experience, which of course, is about anything other than hate...shows the ambivalence of emotions in a deep relationship and the flip-side relationship of love...the love/hate, yin/yang component...and even after all these years...it brings tears to my eyes. Would like to know what other fans experiences are!

I'm not a woman, I'm not a man
I am Something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat you, I'll never lie
And if you're evil, I'll forgive you by and by...

Thanx so much for your responses. I am now listening to the Come album. But I want to leave some lyrics that so reminded me of a relationship (20 years!) that just ended from "I Hate U":

Did U do 2 your other men(women)/ The same things that U did 2 me'/ Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see/ That it's killin' me baby 2 be without U/ Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U/ I hate U because I love U/ But I can't love U because I hate U... "

I'm not a woman, I'm not a man
I am Something that you'll never understand
I'll never beat you, I'll never lie
And if you're evil, I'll forgive you by and by...

Whenever this persons sister knew I was on the phone, she would yell/growl the title of the song...u know...how it's sang in the song. I could always hear her in the bkgrnd. All cuz my handle is BobGeorge. She was familiar with Prince as well.

One bright day in the middle if the night,
2 dead boys got up to fight.
Back 2 back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf Policeman head this noise,
he came and shot the 2 dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie

I always think about the song amillion Days, cause when I had a man in my life it felt like I wasn't being true to myself, he was real mean to me most the time, thinking about not being present in my own life is a scary feeling, but I also had to be a bit numb to deal some of the trouble my eyes have seen confused

Yes! Absolutely that one too! I just heard his version of Bonnie Raitt's song the other day, and it made me tear up and smile at the same time!

Strange Relationship.

Right after the relationship ended, I listened to the song in a live version from some Hawaii tour/concert. In a weird way, the music made me happy and cheerful... I was glad the relaionship was finally over, and the music made me wanna go crazy dancin'!!

She gave her angels...

all my past relations have had to deal with me being a fam....Some songs are painful but over time i have been able to build up an emotional tolerance and detached the girl from the song.....

Hmm... Well there's 2 songs that stand out the most. Both are opposite experiences.
Insatiable- reminds me of a great time in my life when I had many relationships.
No i wasnt in love, but had several girls I cared about and dated for quite some time. Very unique combination of lovers and friends.
Pheremone- This song, I dont listen to very often. Its a cool track, but It was a very very very painful time in my life when I purchased the Come album. The whole album depresses me, but for some reason Pheremone takes me back to that time more than the other songs. Broken heart, emotional breakdown, family problems, days at a time with no sleep... The most Miserable phase of my life thanks to one girl.

So anyway.....
