Still Waiting Appreciation Thread

All my friends tell me about the loves they've had
Can't they see what they're doing 2 me, it makes me feel so bad
Cuz I'm so alone and broken-hearted
It ain't like my life is ended, but more like it never started
The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating
I try so hard but don't U know my patience is fading away, away

Still waiting - I'm waiting 4 that love
Still waiting - I wish on every star above
Still waiting - Waiting 4 the love 2 come around ... oh love
Waiting 4 the love 2 come around

People say that I'm 2 young, 2 young 2 fall in love
But they don't know
They really don't know that's all that I've been dreamin' of
Cuz I spend my nights just-a-cryin'
And I spend my days just-a-tryin'
2 find that love 2 call my own
Cuz I'm sick and tired of bein' alone

Still waiting - Waiting 4 that love
Still waiting - I wish on every star above
Still waiting - I'm waiting 4 the love 2 come around ... oh
(Waiting 4 the love) Don't U know that I'm waiting
(Waiting 4 the love) Still
(Waiting 4 the love) 2 come around now
I need somebody 2 hold onto, baby

Waiting and waiting, don't U know that I'm..
Still waiting - I'm waiting 4 your love sugar
Still waiting - If U're out there girl, please come 2 me
Still waiting - Don't make me cry no more
Still waiting - If U're out there baby, please come 2 me
Still waiting - I'm wishing and wishing 4 days baby
Still waiting - If U're out there girl, please come 2 me

I agree.

I agree.

i disagree. lurking that whole mid-section with with you, when we're dancing close and slow and this song is just bored to me. they just don't sound like "prince" songs to me, no gusto boxed. the rest of the album is pretty tight though. thumbs up!

One of his best songs from the 'early years' (first demo's - For You - Prince)!

Some splendid piano-playing (especially during the fade - out) and the background vocals are really angelic.

This is one of the songs the hooked me. I was so heartbroken as a kid. I could totally realate and his "angelic" sound made my heart break for being so yound sound really noble.

I agree that the 2 middle songs are pretty weak. However, the rest of the songs on the album are wonderful, and Still Waiting has always been my favorite on the album.

I can understand you not liking "With U", but "When We're Dancing Close and Slow" is about as sexy as it gets and "Still Waiting" is gorgeous, so we'll have to disagree there. I actually think one of the weaker tracks on the album is Prince's original recording of "I Feel 4 U". It sounds lame as hell. It took Chaka Khan to really do that song justice.

Still Waiting was covered by a British female duo called Dorothy back in the 80s I think. I would love to hear that version again, I remember it was quite good.

It's a really nice song. I used to skip it when I'd play the Prince album but in the last few years, I've grown fond of it. Nice, simple tune.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
