AMAZING SONG!!!

Thanks for your feedback


(i meant to say genius)

beautiful song.

U’re the reason I took a rope and lassoed the moon
2 prove that when it comes 2 u
there’s nothing I won’t do...
I’d stare in2 the sun if u would be mine
It’s not so great a leap since 2 all others I am blind

I bring this song up every chance I get I think a lot of people either missed the ONA piano album or just didn't care, the bastards

Is it available in stores , anyway ?

Cheers again for your feedback btw

love this song infact I love the whole album

Me too! I love the whole cd!! U're gonna see me is awesome!!

I like this song, but it's just one of those that makes me wish he'd just spent a liiiitle more time on the lyrics, or was just prepared to open up a bit more, and maybe try to bring in some other images and ideas. For a lot of this album, it seemed like he'd borrowed Joni Mitchell's piano style, but not the vulnerability and introspectiveness that makes her work so compelling.

I don't know, there's just something about "give me a call on my 2-way, I'll hit u back with no delay" that just doesn't do it for me, in this context. I think, when you strip it all down musically, like this song does, you have to be prepared to strip it down emotionally - try and cut the crap and just be honest with the lyrics, otherwise it's a bit of a wasted opportunity. (Do we really need another song with Prince telling someone, "when I get u all alone, baby it's on" (or whatever the line is)?

Jus' my two cents..... Love the melody and the falsetto though!

Nice to see your replies


Yes , i agree about the Joni Mitchel part (just the piano i mean) but i think he beat at at her own game , cause the gimmick she does is so repetitive ; a fast sung verse followed by a chorus sung in a high pitched voice (sorry , i really tried to get into it
by listening to ''Blue'' , but all of the songs on it , to me , have that same structure and feel)

But , except for maybe one or two lines , the lyrics are beautiful too and the melody and his voice are really moving to me .

can u print the lyrics to ' your goin to see me ' i havent heard it. also ' supercute '? thanx

U're Gonna C Me


I know i'm not gonna sleep 2nite
Cuz u're not by my side and that ain't right
I thought that we bought this bed 4 2
But what good is it if i'm not with u

Gimme me a page on my 2-way
I'll hit u back with no delay
When u hear all i got 2 say
U're gonna c me
Whether in person or on the phone
I've got 2 get u all alone
And when i do , baby it's on
U're gonna c me

There's never a minute that i find
that u don't ever cross my mind
If u could just hold me tight u'd c
There's nothing harder 4 u than me

Repeat 2nd verse

Gimme a page on me 2-way
I'll hit u back with no delay

U're the reason i took a rope and lassoed the moon
2 prove that when it comes 2 u
there's nothing i won't do
I'd stare in2 the sun if u would b mine
It's not so grat a leap , since 2 all others i am blind

I now that i'm not gonna sleep 2nite




(you could've also just searched on : Prince U're Gonna C Me at Google for instance , btw)
