"I Wonder" appreciation thread I just heard this outtake from 1983 and it is my new favorite Prince song (for this week.  )
I'm digging the lyrics and the sort of gospel/blues feel to it. Does anyone know if what (if any) album this was intended for, and if it was written about any one in particular? 
I Wonder 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 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 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) CHORUS {x2) The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

1991
"Layered vocals by Prince, this excellent track concerns a man wondering if his lover knows how much he loves her since "a gust of southern wind" took her away. It's quite similar to "Elephants & Flowers" in vocal arrangement and melody." - www.dtt-lyrics.com | |

b/c I just heard it, or because I have an outtake?  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

 So why does my CD list it as that? Did I get "swindled"?! (I carefully checked the databank before I bought it!)
Still--does anyone know who it might be about? The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
