and it brought tears to my eyes such a beautiful song he wrote that for me even though he was with mayte see we couldn't be together because i was still in junior high at the time and my dad wouldn't give him permission to marry me (Jerk) Just playing!!! One thing you can say about prince though. He likes young girls too. but al least he waits until they're 18 and Over, unlike Mr. Kelly. Maybe he should have been listening more to his song, bump and grind more "my mind's telling me no....but my body's telling me yes" Instead, he decided to start feeling on their boo-oooo- oooo-oooo-ty!!!! I know i need help but what can i do i was born backwards literally

not crazy about that song myself, but . had no idea it was about him and a young girl . the morning papers .

I love that song! I also get sometimes at its beauty.

I listened to that song today.

I have been listening Emancipation Disc 2 this week.

Definetly one of my favorites. What's R. Kelly got to do with anything?

..... and having Prince record her song "Soul Sanctuary" for his "Emancipation" album. Longtime friend Chaka Khan cut Sandra's "I'll Never Be Another Fool" for her 1998 set "Come 2 My House."

nothing i just wanted to pick at him for dating minors

After I read this thread last night, I had to go pick my Sister up... I played "Soul Sanctuary" twice, singing along all the way there.

Thanks for reminding me....

one of my favs off Emancipation - such an emotional and touching song

really spoke to me at the time it was out as I was in a very similar situation wiht a women and this was the song along with Curious Child and Dreamin' About U - what a rush these songs were in my life! Thanks P

That's one my favorite joints off of the Emancipation album. It's so mellow and emotional.

Disc 2 of Emancipation is just a stone-cold killer to me!

I LOVE that song. LOVE LOVE LOVE that song. My favorite on Disc 2 of Emancipation.

i wish he released it as a single that would have been the wedding song of the year kind of like kenny lattimore's for you song remember that one?

it's a good thing to have ears to listen to music.

For real. One of many Prince songs that should have been singles.

I *LOVE* this song, and when I'm in the mood for love songs, Emancipation has lots and lots of them.
