Adore Vs. If I was your Girlfriend

This is a hard 1 even 4 me, Adore is in my top 5 favorite Prince song and 1 of his best ballads and songs he's ever written. But If i was your girlfriend is a classic aswell as Adore. Off of 1 of Prince's greatest records Sign o' the times. If U had 2 choose which 1 would it b. I would have 2 choose Adore cuz of particular reasons it's just beutiful 4 the mood, thats what I like. I have that charm, just pop in Adore 4 the ladies 2night.(I got some good Pussy off of that song!) Explain ur reasons.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I do think Adore is a lovely song but I've never been such a rabid fan of it as others. I don't know why.

I would go with IIWYG as my choice between the two song. IIWYG is brilliant and clever and unique, and there's no other song out there like it.

I love "Adore", but lyrically, it's overly fantastical, which is why I prefer the much more down-to-earth, realistic "Forever In My Life".

"If I Was Your Girlfriend" is darkly quirky brilliance. One of Prince's best. 'Nuff said.

I love them both for different reasons. Adore is one of the best songs about romanticized love I have ever heard because of the oustanding lyrics. Whereas If I Was Your Girlfriend is one of the most intelligent and realistic love songs in Prince's catalog. Adore focuses on infatuation/love, where IIWYGF looks at being together for the day-to-day aspects of a relationship, while challenging the man to step outside of his society defined gender role and asking the woman to open her mind to him doing so.

They are both great songs but just in different ways.

If I was your Girlfriend.

He mentions vaginas in that one. In Adore, vaginas aren't even hinted at.

I like Adore, but it's too sugary sweet and I'm surprised the people who hate on D&P the song have the nerve to call D&P that. But that's what Adore is. His most syrupy song of all time. IIWYGF is really neat and I actualy don't see it as a song about gender bending, but simply wanting to be as intimate with his lover as she is with her girlfriends(friends). They're intimate in a way that a boyfriend and girlfriend typrically aren't. This is awesome in that it is so unique. IIWYGF wins.
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

This is hard, but I have to go with Adore because it's smooth. I love the funk on IIWYG too, but I loved the vibe he represented on Adore.

My pick would be Adore. I alwayss thought that would be a beautiful song for a wedding.
I do like IIWYG, but not better than Adore. IIWYG makes me laugh.

Lately I have a newfound appreciation for "Adore" Believe it or not, I had gotten sick of the song, until the other day I was listening to some ONA shows where he sang it at the piano sit down. My God, what a song, I realized. And the lyrics? fuhgettaboutit. Simply awesome. nod
