ICNTTPOYM vs. WHEN YOU WERE MINE

these two songs have a very similar vibe indeed. I would have 2 give the edge 2 when you were mine. the first ave 1982 performance with that kicking quitar riff still blows me away!!! I could never take the place was written in 1982 and is a fine song in itself!!

when you were mine is very personal introspective song

when you were mine you were all i ever wanted to do,now i spend my time,following him whenever he's with you...

i could never take the place is pop rock gem with diffrent kind of subject almoust social so i think those two can't compare

but still my vote goes to when you were mine lol

I hate acronyms.

Both songs are great. But When You Were Mine is, quite simply, one of my favorite songs ever, by anyone.

When you were mine. Its strong lyrically.
This line is made of gold.
"I didn't care.
I never was the kind to make a fuss
when he was there
sleeping in between the two of us"
Ouch! That line just hurts even me.

"I love you more than I did when you were mine"
Same with this one.

'When You Were Mine' is better overall... but it doesn't have that bittersweet solo guitar!

sigh I wish Prince would release more songs like these two...absolutely LOVE them both...thumbs up!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
