I can't remember where I got this song but I love it. Anyone know if it is a cover or an original Prince song? And what album or boot is it on? Thanks.

maybe i don't even have the title right.....the lyrics are something like this "don't be afraid, cause if you leave me girl.....etc."

"Get blue.....i wanna put my arms around you....etc."

sound familiar? am i just crazy?

It is an original, I think it was composed for another band, though...

Ever once in a while someone posts a song that I forgot about...

I have it on "Deposition" [1997].
The notes say: "Written (with Levi Seacer, Jr.) 4 Louie Louie in early 1992. They released their version on the album "Let's Get Started".

Hope this helps....
(& thanx for getting me to get up and go play this disc again!!!)

Using the same instrumentation from the "Open Book" outtake, this ballad was given to Louie Louie for their 1993 Let's Get Started album. In the song, Prince pleads to his lover to not hesitate and listen to others in regards to their relationship.

Get Blue

B. L. U. E., blue {x2}

Get blue
Show me what I mean 2 U
Put your arms around me
Do everything your mama told U not 2 do

Get blue
I will never leave U, girl
That's 4 damn sure
Cuz I am not a fool if U get blue

B. L. U. E., blue

Get blue
Let's do something taboo
I'll be yours 4ever more
Excuse me while I close the door

Don't hesitate cuz if U really love me, girl
We can't leave anything 2 fate
Don't make me wait cuz I am in the mood
I'm sure U are 2 so get blue

Get blue (blue)
I don't wanna hurt U
I know what people told ya
I know how they try 2 mold ya

Get blue
I don't wanna be your mama
I don't wanna be your daddy
I just wanna hold U, hold U until U get satisfied

Get blue, ooh
Come on, girl
Let me caress ya
In places that'll show the innermost side of U

Get blue
Come on now, baby
Let me do, do, do what I've been dreamin', don't...

(Don't hesitate) Don't U hesitate
(Cuz if U love me) Cuz if U really love me, girl
We can't leave anything 2 fate
Don't make me wait cuz I am in the mood (mood)
And I'm sure U are 2, get blue

Ooh (B. L. U. E., blue)
Blue - let's get blue, baby {x2}
Blue (Blue)

B. L. U. E., blue

Get blue
Ever since I looked at U
I wanted 2 take off your inhibitions and do something taboo

Get blue
B. L. U. E.

B. L. U. E., blue {x3}
