"When you were mine": Prince of Cyndi Lauper?

Both versions are great, but i prefer the original, which is one of my favorite early-prince songs. What do you think?

Cyndi made that song her own, as if Prince himself had never even written it. If she had never recorded it, no one would even know it existed. It's easily one of his most forgotten songs. He rarely performs it. It's also a diamond in the rough on one of Prince's worst albums.

And yes, I'm being completely facetious.

Prince's version is the best version, of course.

News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

It's one of my all time greatest Prince tracks. It has a beautiful rawness about it and always sounds half-finished which I like !

like Cindi Lauper and she obviously liked the track to but I've still never heard it.
Shut up already, damn.

I actually heard Cyndi's first. But I like Prince's original better.

The original is always the best. But, Cyndi Lauper gave it her own special touch razz . So, I guess Cyndi did Prince's song justice!
